Penile implants are medical devices placed inside the penis to allow men with erectile dysfunction (ED) to get an erection. It's a solution that can restore sexual function and enhance quality of life. However, being equipped with the necessary knowledge and assistance is crucial for ease of use. Our team of caring professionals is dedicated to guiding you through every step of the journey. We do this by offering individualized support tailored to your needs.

Penile implants come in several designs, but they all serve the same purpose to enable an erection. The most common types are inflatable and malleable (semi-rigid) devices. Understanding how your specific implant works and what to expect during daily operation is the first step in managing it effectively.

We provide you with detailed instructions and materials to help you get familiar with your implant. Our patient education includes everything from operating mechanics to maintenance practices. With this information, you'll gain the confidence and independence needed to manage your implant successfully.
