SOFT PENILE IMPLANT
SOFT PENILE IMPLANT «CABLE FREE»
HOW IT WORKS & INDICATIONS
SEXUAL INTERCOURSE
Men with a spinal cord disease or injury may have erectile dysfunction due to the disruption of the nervous circuits involved in erections.
A pair of soft penile implants, inserted in the corpora cavernosa, offer the minimal 500g of pressure resistance needed for successful sexual intercourse.
AFTER SEXUAL INTERCOURSE
After sexual intercourse the penis bends easily with underwear and trousers.
EASIER INTERMITTENT SELF CATHETERISATION
Neurogenic bladder is usually managed by chronic catheterization, intermittent catheterization, or external urinary drainage. Many patients do not have the dexterity to perform self intermittent catheterization and this may lead to urethral perforation, especially where a patient has a retracted penis. Intermittent catheterization by another person is generally not well accepted. The soft penile implant lines up the urethra, making self intermittent catheterization easier and safer.
HELP TO KEEP THE PENILE SHEATH IN PLACE
Neurogenic bladder is usually managed by chronic catheterisation, intermittent catheterisation, or condom drainage devices.
Penile atrophy due to chronic erectile dysfunction, reflex penile retraction, and pelvic bending makes keeping external urinary drainage devices in place problematic.
Obesity can be another contributing problem and may lead to the penis being partially covered and obstructed by surrounding tissue.
Soft penile implants can be useful in keeping external urinary drainage devices over the penis, especially by allowing their proper placement and reducing the incidence of frequent skin lacerations requiring Foley catheters.
