Diaphragm Based Spontaneous Inflation Inhibitor In A Pump For An Inflatable Prosthesis

View page
US Patent:
6533719, Mar 18, 2003
Filed:
Dec 27, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/749256
Inventors:
Charles C. Kuyava - Eden Prairie MN
David W. Clark - Eden Prairie MN
Assignee:
AMS Research Corporation - Minnetonka MN
International Classification:
A61F 226
US Classification:
600 40, 623 2367
Abstract:
A pump assembly for a penile implant is provided having a mechanism which prevents spontaneous inflation of the cylinders implanted within the user. The preventative mechanism uses overpressure generated by the reservoir during unintentional compression to effectively seal the pump assembly from unintended fluid flow. The prevention mechanism itself creates all necessary forces to prevent the undesired fluid flow to the cylinders. This is accomplished by incorporating appropriate mechanisms within the pump itself.

Parylene-Coated Components For Inflatable Penile Prosthesis

View page
US Patent:
6558315, May 6, 2003
Filed:
Mar 15, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/526051
Inventors:
Charles C. Kuyava - Eden Prairie MN
Assignee:
AMS Research Corporation - Minnetonka MN
International Classification:
A61F 500
US Classification:
600 40
Abstract:
A penile prosthesis beneficially includes components coated with parylene in order to increase product life and reduce wear. In particular, components of the inflatable cylinder benefits from having been coated with parylene. The parylene-coated cylinder components are resistant to wear generated by pinching of the cylinder when the cylinder is in a flaccid state. The parylene-coated cylinder may be formed by masking a tube of silicone (or other appropriate material) and vapor coating the silicone tube with parylene. Further, where a double walled cylinder is used, each of two tubes making up the double wall cylinder can have their surfaces coated with parylene, thus increasing cylinder life and avoiding wear.

Penile Pump With Side Release Mechanism

View page
US Patent:
6723042, Apr 20, 2004
Filed:
Dec 3, 2001
Appl. No.:
10/006335
Inventors:
John G. Almli - Chaska MN
Charles C. Kuyava - Eden Prairie MN
Randy L. Morningstar - Brooklyn Park MN
Kevin R. Watts - Plymouth MN
Assignee:
AMS Research Corporation - Minnetonka MN
International Classification:
A61F 202
US Classification:
600 40
Abstract:
A pump and valve assembly for an implantable prosthesis is provided with an internal actuating bar positioned such that when any portion of the housing is compressed, the check valves within are opened allowing for deflation of the cylinders. The pump and valve assembly also includes a textured surface over a portion of the housing to allow for quick identification of the component, as well as to make it easier for the patient to grasp it. The valve assembly further comprising an actuating bar which has ribs to enhance the spring force applied to a flow valve, a support structure to support and appropriately position the actuating bar, and a check valve made of metal with a segment covered with a plastic material.

Parylene Coated Components For Artificial Sphincters

View page
US Patent:
7011622, Mar 14, 2006
Filed:
Aug 2, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/211967
Inventors:
Charles C. Kuyava - Eden Prairie MN, US
Gary J. Nachreiner - Mound MN, US
Mona J. Inman - Eden Prairie MN, US
Assignee:
AMS Research Corporation - Minnetonka MN
International Classification:
A61F 2/02
US Classification:
600 31, 128DIG 25
Abstract:
This invention provides an artificial sphincter including a component coated on at least one contacting surface with a polymeric material, the polymeric coating adapted to expand and return to an original configuration and to prevent or inhibit wear or abrasion of the contacting surface. The polymeric material is parylene in some embodiments. The component adapted for inflation and deflation may be a cuff formed from silicon and adapted to surround a urethra or a rectum. Also provided by the present invention is a method of depositing a coating to a surface of an inflatable component by providing a vacuum chamber system having an inner chamber positioned within an outer chamber. At least one coating material is introduced into at least one of the inner and outer chambers to deposit a coating onto an exposed surface of the component. This invention also provides methods of masking portions of surfaces of an inflatable component to prevent a coating from being deposited on the masked portion.
