Coloplast Titan Penile Implant
Prescribed by a physician for men who have impotence, a penile implant is a device that is placed into a man’s body and designed to help him get an erection. Implants enable men with erectile dysfunction to have a satisfactory erection for sexual intercourse and sensation. If you were able to have an orgasm before your surgery, you should be able to have an orgasm with a penile implant, unless another medical problem affects it. Consult your physician about this.
Reasons to Consider a Penile Implant:
- Patient Satisfaction Rates: 80% of patients were moderately or completely satisfied with their penile implant choice, far outpacing satisfaction levels for Viagra (51.6%) or injection therapy (40.9%).1
- A Discrete Solution: Designed to emulate the look and performance of a natural erection
- Minimal Recovery Time: After the routine outpatient procedure, the implant requires four to six weeks of recovery before it can be used.
- Insurance Coverage: Most insurance, including Medicare, covers the implant.
Georgia Urology’s Coloplast Titan Center of Excellence Surgeons
Coloplast offers a Center of Excellence designation to specialized surgeons who have demonstrated significant implant experience through procedural volume and exceptional competence by providing good outcomes and patient satisfaction. Only a small number of urologic surgeons are designated centers of excellence.
Coloplast Offers Two Types of Penile Implant:
Both implants provide you with the capability of having an erection satisfactory for intercourse. The main difference is that the Genesis penile implant is a malleable implant consisting of 2 rods that are placed in the penis. There are no further parts to this implant. To have an erection, you only need to hold the penis and move it into the desired position. When you are finished, you return the penis to the previous position. With the Titan Touch penile implant, you inflate the cylinders by pressing the pump bulb in the scrotum. You can control the firmness by pumping until you are satisfied with the erection. Discuss the implant with your physician to ensure you get the appropriate one.
