Dr. Kramer told me that Rigicon would only be paying for the device, as in the Infla10 itself. All other costs would have to be covered by us, or our insurance which would amount to about 10-15K. I'm not sure how insurance handle clinical trials.

I'm thinking about it. I'm going to ask VA if they would cover it. If they would, it would be between Infla10 and one of AMS-700s for me. I'm 5" only so LGX is a distinct possibility. I know however that Kramer feels most comfortable with CX. I'm kinda tilting towards Rigicon but I'm diabetic and overweight so Boston Scientific infection control factors in a lot. I also like the way AMS-700s look, and that one-touch deflation is quite impressive too.

On paper Rigicon seems to be best choice. Better infection control than Coloplast, more rigidity than LGX but I haven't spoke to many Infla10 recipients (one recent implant, very briefly) let alone had someone Show and Tell it.
