Malleable Penile Prosthesis

The malleable prosthesis is recommended to patients who suffer with erectile dysfunction. This type of implant has been widely used in the past two decades, so much so that numerous models have been developed since.

Although it is an excellent feature to restore the patient’s sex life, the malleable prosthesis is not the only option indicated. Before putting the implant, a drug treatment is recommended, and in case it fails to improve the patient’s condition, the doctor might indicate this more invasive procedure.

The malleable prosthesis is easily put in place, with a low rate of complications and it is more affordable for many patients.

How is the malleable penile prosthesis implemented?

  • The surgical procedure to insert the malleable prosthesis is performed in a hospital, which might be in ambulatory regimen or up to one day hospitalized. Anesthesia may be general or rachidian with sedation.

  • The malleable prosthesis is implemented inside the corpus cavernosum when it looses its ability to tense, namely, to be erect. In this model erection is fixed, which means the patient might need to fix the prosthesis when having sex and after the act.

  • This semi rigid model is criticized by its mechanism that can provoke an important social inconvenience. That is also why it is essential to talk to your doctor to answer any questions about the best brand to use before implementation.

  • The use of the malleable prosthesis is a definitive option that replaces the natural mechanism of erection with an artificial mechanism. The advantage is that there are no skills required to handle it, the process is simple and didactically explained during your medical appointment.

  • In research done with patients and their partners, it was noticed that over 85% of them are satisfied with the malleable prosthesis implementation. Therefore, it is an interesting solution for men that have already tried other forms of treatment and did not succeed.
