Understanding Your Penile Implant

Penile implants are devices placed inside the penis to allow individuals with erectile dysfunction (ED) to get an erection. Complications are rare and satisfaction rates are high, which is why they're becoming a popular solution for long-term ED.

There are primarily two types of penile implants: inflatable and malleable. The inflatable type is more common, allowing you to control when and how long you have an erection. The malleable type, on the other hand, is always semi-rigid and can be bent into position as needed.

Our specialist team can help you understand the nuances between these two options and assist in making the best decision for your lifestyle and medical needs.

Inflatable implants consist of a pump, two cylinders, and a saline reservoir. By squeezing the pump in the scrotum, you transfer saline from the reservoir into the cylinders to create an erection. After use, another valve can be pressed to release the saline back into the reservoir, deflating the implant.

The simplicity of the design ensures ease of use and a natural look and feel when the device is active.

It's essential to be well-informed before undergoing any procedure. At our clinic, we'll provide you with all the necessary information regarding the operation, recovery, and potential risks.

We believe informed patients are empowered to make the best decisions for their health.
