- A permanent and concealable option for erectile dysfunction.
- Penile implants have been used for over 40 years.
- Inflatable cylinders are inserted through a small incision.
- Over 90% of patients are satisfied with the procedure.
What is it?
- A pair of cylinders are implanted in the penis, a small pump is placed in the scrotum and a reservoir within the abdomen. Squeezing and releasing the pump moved fluid into the cylinders, creating an erection. It is the only treatment that gives patients a rigid erection whenever they want and for however long they want. Once the deflate button is pressed the penis returns to a soft and flaccid state.
