moving from titan to ams cx

Rigicon's lifetime warranty is a key selling point in Asia and the Middle East. The main advantage is that the warranty also covers revisions due to infections. For whatever that's worth, for individuals in the USA without strong insurance coverage or those not on Medicare/VA, this could be valuable.

The Infla10 is no longer new, having been released outside the USA in 2019, though it is still awaiting FDA approval.

I agree that Rigicon’s lifetime warranty is likely their strongest selling point as they attempt to capture market share from AMS and Coloplast. However, from a technical standpoint, I don’t see any revolutionary advancements—just incremental improvements. Based on what I’ve gathered from their website, the key technical highlights seem to be:

1) The use of a proprietary fourth layer, which is claimed to enhance cylinder surface integrity. This appears to be an attempt to differentiate themselves from AMS, which uses three layers and would be generally considered softer than Coloplast.

2) Pump technology designed to offer ease of both inflation and deflation, seemingly trying to strike a balance between AMS and Coloplast pump designs.

It’s hard to say how accurate these claims are, but if these minor tweaks prove effective, they could provide Rigicon with a slight technical advantage over AMS and Coloplast.

Sorry folks but this direction might not follow the original intent of this thread.

I think your thoughts are pretty much along the expected path. Another thought. Perhaps it might be difficult to obtain product liability insurance if a company varied very much away from proven products in a market. Face it, insurance companies are signing up for large liabilities & don't have an army of researchers to vet the data. Thus they could be wary of innovations. I've said many times that improvements will be small & incremental in nature. Your post pretty much confirms it.

Its pretty simple. Pumps can only be made so small. They can't change the sizing. Neither girth or length. Reliable tubing seems to be the only area left. Pre connected without using splices seems the best way. Along that thinking. I've heard that BS has added a CX model in 21cm length that has a slightly longer tubing from the cylinders to the pump. I know that there are complaints as to where the pumps sits. My opinion, adding models within the current cylinder lengths offered now with more tubing length options would help pump placement. That is where the next incremental improvement should be. Optimal pump placement without needing splices to do it.

frank any update?

yes newhope, the news is that: after 3 years and 8 months I stopped injecting testosterone forever, even with very small doses it made me raise my hematocrit/red blood cells/hemoglobin, I'm taking B group vitamins and folates to lower homocysteine ​​too it is high, but not due to testosterone, I must say that physically I am not feeling tired or anything else, these vitamins are certainly helping me, I have done an exercise test, ultrasound heart doppler, and on Monday 7th I will have a new cardiological visit with my real cardiologist , I have already contacted Antonini, he will let me know as soon as he knows the next date for the review, it should be by the end of the month, in the meantime I have done the tests again and the hematocrit/hemoglobin and red blood cells have returned to normal, at the moment I am eligible for the operation, I will never do testosterone again, that's for sure now

It's not that easy, Frank. You need to make sure that your testosterone stays in range, say, above 400 ng/dl. Otherwise, your body will suffer, you'll have a higher chance of worsening diabetes, heart disease, metabolic syndrome, aging faster... etc.
Keep your hormones in balance. Make sure that your testosterone doesn't go low, but after almost 4 years of replacement, it almost certainly will, because that was probably the reason you got the testosterone replacement in the first place, so now expect your own basal level to be even lower.

I don't have diabetes, my testosterone as it is considered in Italy was normal, it was given to me for ED, it just made the pills work a little better for 1 year 2, if I inject testosterone I should become thalassemic, I should remove the blood from time to time, plus taking other medications, things are going well now, we'll see later, I currently feel better than when I was taking testosterone, it's likely that my body was suffering

on Tuesday I will do my revision from titan to ams cx, according to your experience, even those who directly put a cx, without any revision, in your opinion, I should expect a loss of girth/length, I should expect a much lower stiffness, an angle better/worse, I should expect more ovality or more flattening than the titan, my titan was already very oval and flat what do you think based on your experience

frank you said here you already had scheduled the revision? How it went?
Please don't open new thread on the subject so we can have one place with all the answer

I believe he mentioned in this thread that his procedure was postponed after getting the lab results and that's why he stopped the testosterone and will get the revision when his results are normal. I believe he is now all set.

I just got back, I did 1200 km in less than 30 hours, I lost 5 days of paid hotel accommodation, fortunately he refunded me the 4 nights I had booked later, FAILED REVIEW CAUSES: damn testosterone, I have been on testosterone therapy since January 2020 for ED, it made the pills work a little better, until I had more benefits, I continued to inject testosterone because I didn't feel like leaving it, it made me raise red blood cells/hematocrit/hemoglobin, and I had high homocysteine, range up at 10 and I had it at 15, I visited the new cardiologist in my country and seeing the tests with those high values ​​he wrote that I should urgently do the exercise test, being a heart patient, an echocardiogram, and repetition of the tests, when I went with that file to the hospital where I had to do the review, they made me meet the anesthetist, when he read the cardiologist's file he exclaimed, I can't put you to sleep with what the cardiologist wrote, if you don't wake up we'll go everyone in jail, he said, you have to do these things as soon as possible and then we can do the surgery, if I can do them within a month, I'll do the surgery in 1 month, now I stopped taking testosterone from September 2nd, let's hope values ​​are within the limits, I had only managed to take 55 mg of enanthate per week and I was almost at the maximum of the range, evidently I assimilated too much, now I have decided to stop forever, also because this thing has already happened to me 4/5 times that I have they raise the values
