Calling all Rigicon implantees.

We need a comprehensive discussion on the Rigicon Inflatables. If you've had a Rigicon implanted then we need to hear from you.

Please state:

When you had it implanted.
What model and type of cylinders and pump
The size of implant
Which country you had it implanted in and ideally by which surgeon.

We want to know how you find it. How rigid is it, how natural does it appear in both hard and flaccid states, how is the pump? How many pumps to inflate, is the pump noisy. Any other issues?

Tell us everything you know.

And if there are any who have had a Rigicon and also another model then even better to hear how they compare!

Would be great to hear from men that have had a rigicon and either an ams or titan just to see what the differences are

When you had it implanted.

7th of April 2025 - so 22 days ago

What model and type of cylinders and pump

Rigicon Infla 10X with pulse pump

The size of implant

18cm cylinders with 2 RTE (1,5cm and 2cm) - so 21,5cm total

Which country you had it implanted in and ideally by which surgeon

Germany

We want to know how you find it. How rigid is it, how natural does it appear in both hard and flaccid states, how is the pump? How many pumps to inflate, is the pump noisy. Any other issues?

Can´t tell for now, since it´s only 22 days and Iam still deflated. Not able to inflate because I still can´t reach the deflation button because of swelling.
Will update this part of my answer as soon as i have more to tell.

Thanks for responding. Congrats on the op, wishing you all the best for your recovery. Look forward to hearing how you find it!

Out of interest why did you choose the Rigicon? Did you have a choice and what was your surgeon's comments on it?

Thanks mate & sure, i will give an Update

The Rigicon was a recommendation of my surgeon. He said in my case i can choose all manufactures, but the Rigicon is the only one with 4 layer-cylinders and even if it´s a new product, for that reason it´s to expect it´s more durable than the models of Coloplast or Boston Scientific. Also it shall have a better stiffness.
So i just followed his recommendation.
However, pre-surgery it was planed to implant the Infla 10 AX version, but because of some difficulties during my surgery my surgeon decided to implant the regular Infla 10 X version instead.

Interesting to hear your surgeons comments. That's my thinking also, but I wonder if he had any incentive to promote the rigicon... Might it just be easier for the surgeon to fit perhaps?

Apparently Coloplast updated the Titan as recently as 2022 so I'm curious to see what they changed and the comparison to Rigicon.

Rigicon is available on some NHS hospitals so it must be up to standard with some departments preferring it.

How is it in the flaccid state? natural? Or are you still too swollen to tell?

Would like to see a rigicon malleable implant Rigi 10 list of users etc
