Penis pumps (vacuum erection devices, VEDs) are standard, noninvasive tools used both as a treatment for erectile dysfunction and as penile‑rehabilitation after prostate or other urologic surgery; man...
By 2025 the penile‑implant market is led by a small group of established device makers — Boston Scientific (AMS 700 family, Tactra, TENACIO pump), Coloplast (Titan family, Genesis malleable), Zephyr/ ...
In 2025 the medical literature and patient-facing guides describe two broad classes of penile implants: inflatable prostheses (two‑piece and three‑piece) and non‑inflatable or malleable (semirigid) ro...
The core factual finding is that modern penile implants fall into two broad families: and , with the inflatable category further divided into ; a one‑piece or single‑component description exists in so...
Three-piece inflatable penile prostheses (3-piece IPPs) show high short- and mid-term mechanical survivability but measurable component-failure and revision rates emerge over longer follow-up; reporte...
Three-piece inflatable penile prostheses (3-piece IPPs) are widely regarded as the gold standard because they provide the most natural erection and flaccidity, but they carry a higher mechanical-compl...
Controlled glycemia (lower HbA1c) reduces implant-related inflammatory risk and helps implants perform closer to non-diabetic baselines, while antimicrobial coatings and intraoperative “dips” independ...
Antibiotic-impregnated/coated penile implants and intraoperative antibiotic “dips” or irrigations are associated in registry and retrospective series with large reductions in infection and consequent ...
Definitive comparison of AMS 700 and Coloplast Titan requires a large, multicenter, prospective randomized trial that standardizes surgical technique, device coating/antibiotic strategy, and outcome d...
Only a single randomized clinical trial directly compared implanted AMS 700™ CX and Coloplast Titan® devices in patients undergoing penile prosthesis with intraoperative modeling; that trial randomize...
Manufacturers of penile implants generally offer device-replacement warranties for mechanical failures, but the length, scope, and what costs are actually covered vary significantly by company, produc...
The available clinical literature does not contain randomized clinical trials that directly compare the AMS 700 LGX and the Coloplast Titan with head-to-head patient outcomes tracked up to five years;...
Available studies show both two‑piece and three‑piece inflatable penile prostheses (IPPs) achieve high long‑term patient and partner satisfaction, with multiple series reporting no significant differe...
Two broad categories of penile implants dominate contemporary practice: inflatable penile prostheses (IPP) — which include two‑piece and three‑piece designs — and malleable (semi‑rigid) penile prosthe...
Large penile implants and penile augmentation surgeries carry significant medical risks, including , with outcomes heavily influenced by patient selection and surgical technique. Recent reviews and ca...
