A method and apparatus comprising placing a visual indicator suchas a stripe or series of markings on the tubing connecting the various components of a penile prosthesis to evidence the proper linear alignment of the tubing, and counter-rotating those components prior to or during implantation to achieve or maintain proper alignment of the components and thus prevent or remove any torque on the tubing that would cause tears or separations at the junction points. A tactile indicator may be used in addition to or in place of the visual indicator.
Cette invention se rapporte à un procédé, ainsi qu'à l'appareil correspondant, qui consiste à placer un indicateur visuel tel qu'une bande ou une série de marques sur les tubes reliant les divers composants d'une prothèse du pénis pour mettre en évidence l'alignement linéaire correct desdits tubes, et à faire tourner en sens inverse ces composants avant ou pendant l'implantation de manière à obtenir ou maintenir un alignement correct des composants et à éviter ou supprimer ainsi tout couple sur les tubes qui pourrait augmenter les déchirements ou séparations au niveau des points de jonction. Il est possible d'utiliser un indicateur tactile en sus ou à la place de l'indicateur visuel.
