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.

Une prothèse pénienne comprend avantageusement des éléments recouverts de parylène pour allonger la durée de vie du produit et réduire l'usure par frottement. De manière plus spécifique, les éléments du cylindre gonflable tirent profit de leur enduction avec du parylène. Les éléments du cylindre recouverts de parylène résistent à l'usure par frottement générée par le resserrement du cylindre lorsque ce dernier est à l'état flasque. Le cylindre recouvert de parylène peut être formé en utilisant un masque de silicone (ou d'un autre matériau approprié) et en recouvrant de parylène le tube de silicone avec de la vapeur. De plus, lorsqu'on utilise un cylindre à double paroi, chacun des deux tubes formant le tube à double paroi peut comporter des surfaces recouvertes de parylène, ce qui allonge la durée de vie et évite l'usure par frottement.
