I’ve been thinking the current technology of implants is seriously behind the times. A medical device company should be able to design a bulletproof inflatable. One that doesn’t break,gives max length and girth,is easy to deflate and pumps easily in 4-5 pumps. Anxious to hear what this new rigicon is like.

I'm really surprised at how much men's health has been pushed aside. That's not my opinion but from what I've read over the years. If you google "magnetic induction penile prothesis" you will find a couple articles containing information regarding this new implant pioneered by Brian Le. It was successfully tested in a cadaver last May. Sounds like the simpler surgery would be much like a one-piece however you would remain somewhat flaccid when not in use. Have to carry a small wand around to activate it. Looks promising and could be the next generation of implant technology.

KISS !" Keep It Simple Stupid" A term from the old days. Less moving parts less breakdowns.

No its not 4 pumps... at least with mine.. it takes 6 pumps with Infla10 anatomical expansion version

perchè dicono siano meglio le ams che ci vogliono 25/30 pompe invece con infla10 bastano 5/8 pompe

I still worry about questions I have not seen addressed in any of the reports/articles written about this device.

First of all, it is not truly a one-piece. It is a two-piece, requiring an external device to make it operate.

Even though it promises to have a longer service life and simpler, safer implantation than the 3-piece;

The hydraulic 3 piece has the ability to adjust rigidity to the comfort level of the participants. This one seems to be "full or flaccid" with nothing in between, where the 3-piece has the ability to be adjusted in rigidity and size over its range. My implant at 90% is comfortable for hours. At 100% is uncomfortable after about 60-90 minutes, but at 100% is preferred for the most active sex.

The ability to deflate at will is a feature of the 3-piece. The magnetic induction prosthesis seems to (from the scant information I have been able to find) go flaccid of its own accord after its temperature falls below the requisite threshold. That means my penis would stay up erect after I or my partner might be exhausted or go flaccid before we are ready to stop and need to be re-erected. (Of course, plenty of friction might keep the metal pumped up to the right temperature .)

The chance that a spontaneous erection might occur (during a fever, in a sauna, in a hot tub or just walking around Yuma Arizona in August) could be problematic.

Would carrying around the magnetic induction "wand" be problematic? If a man unexpectedly encountered a willing partner and had left is "wand" at home. Woman, "I want you to fuck me right now." Man, "I would love to. Have you got a coil of wire and some jumper cables in your nightstand?"

Now, if the implant could be powered by a battery (not unlike the batteries that power pacemakers) which could be recharged through the skin with an induction device and turned on and off by a switch...that might work, leave the man independent (at least for a few days or weeks at a time) of any external device, and able to control erection/flaccid state at will.

I also wonder, when the penis increases in volume, what it is that comprises the increased volume? Is it the implantee's blood? Is that problematic if it should congeal.

Lost- you’re lost! We’re talking about the new Rigicon inflatable.

Sorry, I was responding to this post. It refers to an implant in development.

Never mind - Just read the question you were responding to- I totally agree!

Four pumps to inflate? It would have to have a big ball, not a practical item. I think what they have now is actually very nice if the pump is working the way it should, but mechanical things do fail and the pumps are mechanical. But I do believe they could make a pump that would never fail, it is a very easy mechanical item. All it is a check valve. Opens when you squeeze the ball because it is pushing saline from the reservoir to the cylinders, and it closes when the ball recharges with more saline. I read an article many months ago that the reason why some fail is because at the factory they did not add enough lubricant where the check valve is, and that it gets stuck and quits working. Not sure whether to believe that or not. I do no that I had trouble from the start on my first revision with the MS valve sticking. Had it replaced and this one works perfect.
