after how long you are out of the risk of infection

"As long as you have a foreign object in your body, there is some level of infection risk.

But then why is the risk with a malleable virtually non-existent? I mean they're even used as stents for revisions due to infection.

You have answered your own question. Virtually non-existent is not ZERO. Thus it fits my "some level of infection risk" statement.

I agree with GT, malleable infection rates are certainly not zero. To call any surgical procedure to have an infection rate as non-existent is somewhat unbelievable.

Recent technological development of penile prosthesis: a literature review

"Numerous studies have investigated the post-operative outcomes and patient satisfaction in patients implanted with malleable prostheses. Reported infection rates range from 1.4% to 8.3%..."

"...A systemic review published by Mahon and colleagues examined the infection rates in different protheses across 97 study arms (108)..."

"They found that the studies reporting infection rates for IPPs (n=68) had a wider range of infection rates (range: 0–24.6%) compared to those reporting infection rates for malleable prostheses (n=12; range: 0–9.1%) (108)..."

"However, the majority of studies reported an infection rate of less than 5% for both IPPs and malleable prostheses, and small series comparing infection rates between the two did not find statistically significant differences (108). [/i]"

Oh, yeah, you're right. The question is self-refuting.
