Which Penile Implant Is Best?

Men who are considering penile prosthesis implantation due to erectile dysfunction frequently search for 'which prosthesis is better' in search engines. Now, in this blog post, we will try to answer FAQs about penile prosthesis types.

What types of penile implants are there?

Penile prostheses are generally divided into two types. There are semi-rigid, malleable prostheses, and three-piece penile prostheses that can be placed in the scrotum and inflated with an invisible pump (inflatable).

Which is better, inflatable or malleable implants?

This varies according to some factors of the patient (age, lifestyle, neurological disease, physical ability). For example, inflatable prostheses have a higher satisfaction rate than penile prostheses and are more comfortable and close to reality.

However, since they need to be inflated and deflated with a pump, the patient must have good manual dexterity. This may be difficult for some individuals with neurological diseases or the elderly. Malleable penile implants may be more advantageous for candidates in this situation. At the same time, malleable prostheses are cheaper prostheses. They are also simpler to place and relatively easier to operate. However, three-piece (inflatable) prostheses should be preferred with their more ergonomic and physiological structure if there is no restrictive factor.

Does a malleable implant increase size?

Penile prosthesis surgeries are not performed to lengthen the penis size. Additional procedures are required for lengthening and thickening. During the surgery, the inner tissue of the penis is measured and a suitable size penile prosthesis is placed. The length of the penis is similar to its healthy state. These individuals usually have severe erectile dysfunction and since full rigidity cannot be achieved, it may appear longer than in the recent past. In this respect, the idea that malleable prostheses are advantageous over inflatable prostheses in terms of length because they are always rigid is wrong. Similar performance is also obtained from inflatable implants.

What is the most popular penile implant brand?

There are two prominent brands in the world regarding penile implants. Companies named AMS (American Medical Systems, Boston Scientific) and Coloplast stand out as international brands that have proven themselves in this field.

What is the most reliable penile implant?

Both Boston Scientific and Coloplast companies produce reliable penile prostheses that are popular with their medical products. Therefore, AMS 700 and Coloplast Titan are long-lasting and reliable penile implants.

Best inflatable penile implant 2024

The previously mentioned AMS 700 and Coloplast Titan penile implants have some advantages over each other. For example, Coloplast Titan claims to be harder than its competitor when inflated and has thicker cylinders (21 mm). AMS 700, on the other hand, is produced with a technology called 'inhibizone' and states that it provides maximum protection against infections that occur after penile prosthesis surgeries with its antiniotic release. In addition, the AMS 700 LGX model states that it prevents shortening after penile prosthesis surgeries by inflating both transversely and longitudinally. Coloplast company states that it provides this with its high rigidity and states that it is more advantageous in patients with Peyronie's plaques. In studies conducted for both implants, the satisfaction rate of both the man and his partner reaches up to 95% and the success of penile prosthesis surgeries, which are the only permanent method for severe erectile dysfunction, is proven.

Best malleable penile implant

Both AMS Spectra (or Tectra) and Coloplast Genesis are quality products and offer a wide range of widths and lengths. AMS claims that their malleable prosthesis is both flexible and rigid, and states that it can provide both good erection and good concealment in social life. Coloplast emphasizes the easy placement and fast healing features of the Genesis model. A study has shown that the satisfaction rate of patients who had these prostheses implanted was 75.6% for AMS and 77.1% for Coloplast, and that there was no significant difference.

Does the AMS 700 increase size?

AMS 700 LGX and Rigicon Infla 10 AX model penile implants provide some extension in penis length thanks to their transverse and longitudinal inflation features. These models can be a good choice for patients who have shortened penis length due to various reasons.

Does Coloplast Titan increase length?

In a study, inflatable 3-piece AMS 700 LGX, AMS 700 CX and Coloplast Titan devices were compared and it was recorded that these implants did not cause an increase in penis length in the first 2 years, but after 2 years, they provided an average of 1.2 cm in AMS 700 LGX, 1.1 cm in AMS CX and 0.9 cm in Coloplast Titan.

What is the best age for a penile implant?

If there is erectile dysfunction that lasts more than 6 months, if medical treatment has not been beneficial or if there is a condition that prevents medical treatment, if permanent treatment is desired, the patient is a candidate for penile implant surgery and age does not matter. This need usually occurs over the age of 50 and the cause for the majority of patients is diabetes, coronary artery disease, previous cancer surgeries, Peyronie's disease. Sometimes venous insufficiency can also be detected in younger patients.

Women's feel about penile implant

One of the concerns of penile implant candidates is whether their partner will experience pleasure and whether the inserted penile implant will be noticed. Studies have shown that partners of individuals with penile implants do not have problems with orgasm.
