A penile prosthetic (20) includes an insertion tool (40) contained inside of an inflatable bladder (28) of a penile implant (26). The penile implant is sized for insertion into a dilated corpora cavernosum of a penis. The penile implant has a proximal tip (30) that is insertable into the crus penis, with the inflatable bladder connected to the proximal tip. The inflatable bladder has a first column strength and includes a distal tip that is insertable into the glans penis. The insertion tool provides the inflatable bladder with an effective column strength that is greater than the first column strength.
