How it works, and common myths

An implanted device mechanically or hydraulically facilitates a firm, controllable erection.

A little more technical

A surgical procedure places either inflatable cylinders and a pump or bendable rods inside the penis to provide mechanical rigidity for an erection.

Penile implants function by either providing a rigid, bendable structure (malleable implants) or by allowing for hydraulic inflation of cylinders placed within the corpora cavernosa (inflatable implants). Inflatable systems involve two cylinders, a scrotal pump, and an abdominal reservoir, enabling on-demand erection and flaccidity. Malleable implants consist of silicone rods that are manually positioned.

Material: Inflatable or Malleable Prosthesis; A highly sophisticated, medical-grade silicone and bioflex device surgically placed inside the erection chambers of the penis.
Technique: Corpora Cavernosa Insertion; Provides a permanent, structural solution for severe erectile dysfunction, allowing the patient to control rigidity mechanically via a hidden pump.
