I read this figure in one of the numerous medical research articles I have read over the past few months, but I can't remember where I read it. Did anyone else read this same article? It also said that an even higher percentage would stop working by 8-10 years

Maybe, but you have to wonder where the numbers come from.

that's why you shouldn't buy a used one.....

Thanks a bunch, XO. I was just getting ready to sell mine.

If true, a good reason to get a Titan with a lifetime guarantee.
I have used my Titan to hang towels on, change a tire, pry open a pickle jar, and move furniture.
It is a rugged tool.

I note that, in this article, the AMS Ultrex implant was used in over 50% of the cases studied. The Ultrex is now off the market and replaced by the AMS LGX, redesigned and more reliable.

Inflatable implants have only been around since the '70s (if I remember correctly) and every medical device and treatment is an individual experiment.

Is the risk worth the benefit? is the question we each must ask ourselves.

Lost Sheep (still asking)

YES YES, LIMP BEFORE AND NOW I HAVE THIS TO USE AND PLAY WITH. TOP PHOTO FIRST INFALE AND BOTTOM PARTIAL INFLATION ABOUT 6 MONTHS AFTER. NEVER LIMP AGAIN

Don't kid yourself. I thought my implant was gonna last forever too. But it broke at just under 5 years of moderate usage. Hopefully yours will last longer than mine did.... Enjoy it while you can.

By the way, the article I am looking for was an academic research paper written by a group of surgeons, and published in a peer reviewed medical journal. As I recall it stated that "80-85 % of implants continue to work after five years" (meaning that 15-20% will stop working before five years).
