Saw an interesting reference to the Rigicon expandable inflatable implant study earlier. Since this has had approval out of the country, has anyone had experience with this device?

One gent a while back said he had the Rigicon Infla10 AX done. I PM'd him and asked him to start a thread about it but he never did. Can't help but feel like Boston Scientific and Coloplast have been dragging their feet regarding improvements to existing models. Maybe this new model will have less mechanical failures and decrease the need for revisions.
I wonder (once the FDA approves) how would a company like Rigicon get the top specialists to sign on and start using their implant over the AMS or Titan?

The same way AMS/BS and Coloplast got theirs certified/permitted by the US FDA. An onerous procedure reportedly designed to protect the American Public first and foremost.
Also reportedly designed to keep the American Medical System the best in the world. Also reportedly designed to keep the supply thin and the pockets of current manufacturers thickly lined. All those reports open up controversy that I think is best not conducted here, but with your political representatives, please.

Sorry for late reply. I don't check here lot..
I don't know how Rigicon will get those top specialists in US but my doc was one of the top in Germany. It's not FDA licensed yet, they were doing clinical studies. They manufacture in the US but can't sell there..
I'd join clinical trials if I were in US. Free implant!
Malleable is available in US right?
Please let me know your questions, I'll try to give information as much as I can.
1- 6-7 pumps to fully inflate
2- No vibration or sound @pump (my friend has lgx - he is sick of it) It's like a diesel engine start
3- Bulb is soft not stiff but don't have any idea about others
4- I am having hard time to locate deflate button sometimes
5- Pump is large compared to others? I don't know!
6- No mechanical failures so far for me
I found some videos on youtube

Visited the clinicaltrials.gov website and couldn't find any clinical trials in the states for the Infla 10 AX, completed or recruiting. If anyone comes across anything please post it up. I would be interested in signing up.

If it works on the same priciple, why would take less pumps to inflate. I had a look at the video the pump doesn't look too big.

Morning.
I have rIgicon implant, or at least i have one for the next few weeks.
I have a meeting on Monday where my surgeon will tell me what the possible replacement will be.
Long story which I've told in my journal.
I'm sure it's very good, just not for me.

Guys who get implants are a rare breed! Not many men will let someone cut open their dick. We hear many stories of men getting them on this site, but the number in the real world is very small. For medical issues that few people get there us not much desire or monetary return on R&D.
