Inflatable
The Coloplast Titan® Touch inflatable penile prosthesis is a self-contained, fluid-filled system made from silicone and Bioflex®, a supple yet durable material. The Titan penile implant is designed to mimic the look and performance of a natural erection.
To inflate the prosthesis, the man presses on a pump. The pump transfers saline from the reservoir to the cylinders in the penis, causing an erection. Pressing on a deflation valve at the base of the pump returns the fluid to the reservoir deflating the penis.
There are three parts to an inflatable penile implant:
1. A reservoir placed in the abdomen
2. Two cylinders placed in the penis
3. A pump placed in the scrotum
Malleable Implant
The Genesis® is a flexible penile implant that consists of two firm but flexible rods that are placed into the shaft of the penis. There are no other parts to this implant.
To have an erection, you simply hold the penis and move it into the desired position. When you are finished, you bend it back down to conceal it. The malleable penile implant can be a good option for men with limited dexterity.
