    摘要: An inflatable penile prosthesis may include a fluid reservoir configured to hold fluid, an inflatable member, and a pump assembly configured to transfer fluid between the fluid reservoir and the inflatable member. The pump assembly may include a pump bulb, a valve block, a plurality of valves disposed within the valve block, a first fluid port in fluid communication with the fluid reservoir, and a second fluid port in fluid communication with the inflatable member. The plurality of valves includes a control valve configured to move between an inflation position and a deflation position to control the flow of fluid within the valve block and the transfer of fluid between the fluid reservoir and the inflatable member.

    摘要: An implantable fluid operated device may include a fluid reservoir configured to hold fluid, an inflatable member, and an electronic fluid control system to transfer fluid between the fluid reservoir and the inflatable member. The fluid control system includes at least one pump and at least one valve including a piezoelectric actuator. The piezoelectric actuator includes a diaphragm, and a piezoelectric element coupled to the diaphragm. The piezoelectric element deforms in response to a voltage applied by an electronic control system of the fluid control system. The diaphragm deforms in response to deformation of the piezoelectric element. The piezoelectric actuator actuates the at least one pump and at least one valve to control a flow of fluid based on one of an amount of deformation or a direction of the deformation of the diaphragm.

    摘要: An apparatus includes a bodily implant configured to be implanted into a body of a patient. The bodily implant includes an inflatable member, a sensor, and a controller. The inflatable member is configured to be disposed within a portion of the body of the patient and place pressure on a portion of a body of th patient. The sensor is operatively coupled to the inflatable member and configured to detect a fluidic pressure within the inflatable member. The controller is configured to receive pressure data from the sensor during a transition between a deflated configuration and an inflated configuration of the inflatable member and detect, based on the received pressure data, atrophy of the portion of the body of the patient.
