INFUSION OF DRUGS
First Claim
1. A penis erection stimulation system, comprisingat least one flexibly bendable infusion needle (11) with a tip end (13) of each of said at least one infusion needle arranged in at least one first housing for penetrating the first housing'"'"'s outer wall (15) and having the respective other end arranged in at least one second housing, the first and second housings being adapted for implantation inside the patient'"'"'s body, wherein the at least one second housing is provided for implantation inside the patient'"'"'s body remote from the at least one first housing and wherein the injection needle is sufficiently long to bridge the distance from the at least one second housing for remote implantation to the at least one first housing and further through the first housing up to the outer wall of the first housing,at least one reservoir (R1, R2) adapted for implantation inside the patient'"'"'s body remote from the-at least one first housing and in fluid connection with the at least one infusion needle to supply to the infusion needle a substance to be injected into the patient'"'"'s body,at least one pump (P) adapted for implantation inside the patient'"'"'s body remote from the at least one first housing and further adapted to advance the substance from the reservoir to the at least one infusion needle, andat least one drive unit (D) adapted for implantation inside the patient'"'"'s body, the at least one drive unit being coupled to the at least one infusion needle and arranged at least for advancing and retracting the at least one infusion needle so that the at least one infusion needle penetrates with the tip end or ends thereof at least one penetration area of said at least one first housing'"'"'s outer wall so as to allow for stimulation of penis erection by injecting the substance through said at least one penetration area via the at least one infusion needle.

Abstract
A penis erection stimulation system comprises one or more infusion needles, the tip ends of which are disposed within and implanted along with at least one first housing adjacent the patient'"'"'s left and right corpora cavernosa. The respective other end or ends of the infusion needles are disposed and implanted along with at least one second housing remote from the first housing. A reservoir and a pump are also implanted inside the patient'"'"'s body to supply the infusion needle with infusion liquid. A drive unit also adapted for implantation inside the patient'"'"'s body is arranged for advancing and retracting the infusion needle such that its tip end penetrates the at least one first housing'"'"'s outer wall at least in two different penetration areas either simultaneously or in immediate time succession, thereby injecting drugs into the patient'"'"'s body for stimulating penis erection.
