Still researching the AMS and titan.
I not able to find the available cylinder diameter on the models, but one, and the titan inflates to 21mm.
I see the various lengths and sizes, but not much on diameter.
Is it a one size fits all?

Lots of good info here if you haven't already watched it.

The information on the video was good but it is a bit incomplete. Your body will as was said in the video determine your size. That is to a point of the max on the cylinder. The AMS LGX has the ability to expand in girth and length. This link shows this in table one. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5654325/ You can see the LGX 21 and the Titan 22 are very close (within .1 cm) in diameter. And there is a big difference in the LGX 18 and Titan 18 (.5 CM).
The thing is you will not know the size of the device until you are cut open and measured in the OR. But from the data it seems that the LGX will match the Titan in girth in some cases but can be lacking in others. But the LGX will expand in length far more than the Titan.
A lot will go into the choice of device so this is best left to a very experienced doctor that uses both brands. And there are men who can have either brand. Depends on the man and the medical history.
Hope this helps a bit =even though it only shows 2 sizes of LGX and Titan. I have no information on the other sizes or CX or narrow cylinders. But it shows that there is a difference depending on the size of the device and also that the LGX will expand in size and make up some or all of the lesser starting diameter.
