Boston Scientific and Coloplast IPP Failure Study

[fucked0ne]

Any idea when the new Coloplast tubing should become available? And where did you happen to hear about this? It’s my understanding that the Coloplast, excepting the tubing, is pretty fucking resilient; new tubing made of the same sturdy material could set Coloplast firmly above BostonScientific in the world of IPPs (and force BS to make some positive, competitive changes themselves). If what you say is true, this is actually exciting news.

I have heard some docs say around 2030.No published data exists to back that claim up.

FDA approvals in 2025 for Titan are PMA supplements (updates), not a new device line:

Aug 14, 2025 – Supplement S071: design/component changes to True Lock parts in the Titan assembly kit and a new pouch sealer. https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpma/pma.cfm?ID=P000006S071

May 28, 2025 – Supplement S070: approval of an alternate sterilization site for Titan assembly kits and RTEs (manufacturing/sterilization logistics). https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpma/pma.cfm?ID=P000006S070

Coloplast has recent IP activity that suggests R&D:

2024 US patent application describing a prosthesis with a “scaffold nested inside a tubular film” and a pump assembly—signals concept work, not a launched product. https://patents.google.com/patent/US20240033087A1/en

2025 US design patent on a deflation button for an implantable penile prosthesis pump—again, component-level refinement. https://patents.justia.com/patent/D1086084

Fuck, 2030!? Oh wait, that’s only five years; that’s not too bad, but the whole thing just sounds like hearsay.

Any forthcoming updates from BostonScientific?

Interesting. Reading through the 2024 IP link it seems like they're making changes to improve flexibility in the flaccid state and possibly a different type of pump and a new implant design? Also, I don't see mention of any specific material types used, Bioflex etc. Is that required for new designs, or to make changes to existing products?

Is it possible for them to change the tubing material of their current products without having to go through FDA approval or IP application etc, especially if they use the same material they already use for their cylinders?

I don't know when or if this is fact, I'm only relaying what my Dr told me and he's one of the Dr's that wrote that study, and numerous others. He chose to stop using BS products, for a few reasons and I'll leave it at that.

tooyoung, so you put all that effort into finding a pic of a side of beef, with the word "Chuck" on top -- and made it your avatar -- just to express to the forum that "the whole meat is a carcass" ? And that's the story you're going with ? Sounds like fog.

Whatever it is, I'm not sure the juice was worth the squeeze.

- Chuck

Anyway back to the chuck thing ...even for a profile pic you assumed that I misread cow's anatomy... I didn't label chuck as the ass....it's standing left to right not right to left I know that chuck is the shoulder...my intention is that the whole meat is a carcass and now you get the idea.
