It’s not just you. Once my Titan needs revision, I will get the Prime unless initial experience from patients shows some issue. Just the stronger tubing alone could eliminate half of Titan failures. I don’t see it mentioned, but what I’d like to see also is extra tubing reinforcement (maybe an additional layer of Bioflex) at the pump junction, where most tubing failures occur. But maybe the tubes being wrapped in Bioflex just makes them so strong that’s unnecessary.
I’d also like to keep the Classic pump instead of the Touch pump. I think that is scheduled later, but not sure. I already have to wait until middle of next year for the Prime XL cylinders to be available. If my current Titan fails beforehand I’d have some tough choices to make.
Very cool! Good musings on the pump junction…
What I’d like is a conversation between some of the brainer people on this board, where they might offer some speculations on increased lifespan.
I believe Dr. Hakky actually works with Coloplast. He’d probably have some general insight concerning this.
I asked the following question to a couple high profile surgeons, and below are their answers..
I was curious on your thoughts on the Titan Prime. Will you be using this?
Dr Perlman: I don’t have experience with this recently approved product so I can’t offer any feedback.
Dr Kramer: yes
Dr Hakky: Some much needed improvements. I am a fan of it wish it was done 10 years ago.
Dr Loh-Doyl: Yes, when it is released, I will likely be one of the first sites in California
Thanks for this. It’s my understanding that Hakky works directly with Coloplast. If any surgeon has anything of import to say about this device, it’s him.
