Offered the new Titan Prime next month, one of the first. Anyone have info/advice?

[runtsss]

My surgeon has offered me the new Titan Prime for my implant next month. Since it just got FDA approval, I’d be one of the first in the world to get one. He doesn’t have much info on it yet beyond the press release (easier but larger deflation pump, tougher tubing, less dog ears supposedly).

Naturally, I do not want to be a lab rat but am 22 and the prospect of a longer lasting device tempts me. Has anyone here heard anything about the Prime from their surgeon or rep, or been offered one? Any reason you’d take it or pass on it in favor of the proven Titan? All info and opinions welcome.

Thank you all, your help means the world.

My surgeon was one of the first to get to see the Prime and review the changes. He thinks it will make a big difference and be significantly better and more durable. If my Titan failed today I’d definitely try to get the Prime installed as a replacement.
