i saw andrew kramer saying in one of his videos that the semi rigid has a super duper low infection rate(said he never saw one get infected)
does that mean most of the infection are because the pump/reservoir?

I'd guess probably not the pump/reservoir per se, but just the fact that the surgery is more invasive so there's more opportunity for infection to occur.

it speaks to 2 things:

1. the semirigid device itself has very little surface area, and nothing in the sack. So with no pump or reservoir, and just surface area in the penis, much less exposure to what makes them get infected. some folks believe it always starts in the scrotum, so semirigid rules that out

2. Kramer is beyond one of the best- he's probably THE best, US and world, so his infection rates and going to be better than what you'll see except for a handful of places in the world. So that's the 2nd factor. Kramer only knows what he sees, and to him the infection rate is just that low

I will say if you look at a top guy like Kramer or Eed in new york- the steps they take to prevent infection is extreme. A few of dr. krater's videos show like 7 or 8 big steps and drapes and scrubs at the beginning plus eedd in new york has the no touch. it all helps
