Inflatable Implants
Inflatable penile implants are a popular surgical option for men with erectile dysfunction (ED) who have not responded to other treatments. These implants provide a natural-feeling, controllable solution for achieving and maintaining an erection. Here’s an overview of how inflatable penile implants work and their benefits:
How Inflatable Implants Work
Cylinders: Two inflatable cylinders are surgically placed inside the penis. These cylinders are connected to a pump and a reservoir via tubing.
Pump: The pump is implanted in the scrotum, where it can be easily accessed. Squeezing the pump transfers fluid from the reservoir into the cylinders, causing the penis to become erect.
Reservoir: In a three-piece implant, the reservoir is implanted in the lower abdomen. It stores the saline or fluid that fills the cylinders during an erection. In a two-piece implant, the reservoir is integrated into the pump.
Benefits of Inflatable Implants
Natural Look and Feel: Inflatable implants provide a more natural appearance and sensation compared to other types of penile implants. The erection can be controlled to be as firm or soft as desired, and the flaccid penis looks natural when the implant is deflated.
Discreet and Easy to Use: The implant is entirely concealed within the body, making it discreet. The pump is easy to use and allows for spontaneous sexual activity.
How Malleable Implants Work
Malleable penile implants consist of two semi-rigid rods that are surgically placed inside the penis. Unlike inflatable implants, these rods do not require a pump or reservoir. Instead, they maintain a constant shape, allowing the penis to be manually positioned into an erect or flaccid state
Benefits of Malleable Implants
Simplicity and Reliability: Malleable implants are mechanically simpler than inflatable implants, with fewer components. This simplicity reduces the risk of mechanical failure and eliminates the need for a pump or reservoir.
Cost-Effective: Generally, malleable implants are less expensive than inflatable implants. They offer a cost-effective solution for men with ED, especially those who are looking for a more affordable option.
Ease of Use: Malleable implants are straightforward to use. They do not require any special technique to operate and can be adjusted manually by the user.
Durability: These implants are designed to be durable and long-lasting. With proper care, they can provide reliable function for many years.
No Need for Batteries or Fluid: Unlike inflatable implants, malleable implants do not require fluid or batteries, making them a low-maintenance option.
Less Natural Appearance: Malleable implants do not offer the same natural look as inflatable implants. The penis may remain in a semi-r
