There is no pump and reservior so it will be more natural than current implant
it has not been commercialized yet
Could it be popular in a few years? Or is it just a futile hope like so many medical articles?
I hope this type of implant will be developed.

Activates at 42C or 108F. Brings new meaning to the phrase "hot rod", eh? Before implants, buying a hot car would often attempt to substitute for sexual prowess.

Just don't expect to be able to use it during a power outage.

If you live in a place like Arizona where it can get 120F, what happens if you go sunbathing or are working outside?

Also, with inflatables you stay up until you deflate. How do you keep this one at 108 degrees? Friction?

Inquiring minds want to know

It does sound like a pretty good idea. The operation to install it is much simpler. Operation without the pump and valve has got to be a lot easier than what I have read.
