Malleable - Model Comparison

Postby username_taken29 » Wed Jan 29, 2020 10:31 pm

Hi everyone,

I am based in Canada - does anyone know who I could speak to in order to compare the malleable implants available? I am looking to see if there is a major difference in rigidity.

Thanks!

I met with a BSX rep this week. She said the Tactra is much harder than a 3 piece. I asked why. She said:
“the Tactra has a nickel-titanium core, the 3 piece is water filled.”

That sounds like it may be a bit of misinformation. The whole concept of malleable is it is soft enough to bend it up for sex or down for the rest of the time. With a 3 piece it gets pumped up to a very hard erection. When mine is fully pumped I can not bend it until I deflate it, but a guy with a malleable simply bends his back down.

The axial strength (penetration) of a semi rigid is stronger than a 3 piece. The part inside the shaft does not bend.

Great question.
I am also from Canada..Toronto.

Was reading about Boston's new Tactra mid 2019 launch, which they claim to be next generation.
Can someone comment on if these are as good as liquid inflatable ones.

I am getting the Tactra in March. The reasons I chose the Tactra over a 3 piece: no reservoir, tubes, or pump. So nothing to pump, deflate, malfunction or break. Easier, faster, surgery with less chance of infection. It is also stronger than a 3 piece. I held one the other day and it felt really good. I was thinking that one on each side has to be stronger than the corpora naturally filled with blood, or a 3 piece filled with saline.

I was not aware of the new advancements to the Tactra. Regardless of the scientific facts, my AMS 700LGX gets and stays harder than either my wife or I like it to be. I generally only have it at 75-80% inflation which is still very hard and we are both way more comfortable.

Why if the Tactra has a Nitinol core (Nickel Titanium is also used in memory metal called nitinol), is it not like the experimental implant that turns hard with heat applied?

Nice to know:). I have to talk to my Dr. about the Tactra I have right now because it is uncomfortable in a bigly way. I am waiting for our porn star to put on dress pants and walk around for a couple hours. His experience may be different, but for me, mine keeps poking out, and I am talking about my dick head itself. I get these spontaneous engorgements just exacerbates the situation.
I saw the vid of the porn start being implanted, and its obvious that he was fitted with a longer and thicker Tactra. Maybe when he puts his implant away, it will actually stay down and not chafe his skin.
But I thought it was SALINE being used, not water:)

I would like to learn more. Can you point me in directions where I could research questions I have, please?

Your comment, "does not bend" is intriguing. I was under the impression that the owner bends the penis (and implant) for stowage and never considered that there might be portions (along its length, perhaps?) that bend and other portions that do not. I thought the entire length (or almost the entire length) of the implant was of the same bendability.

My AMS LGX is stiff enough that the limitation (fully pumped) on axial strength (penetration) has nothing to do with the implant device, but on how much pressure I can tolerate on my glans and how much pressure my partner can tolerate on her genitals. Bending strength is pretty much the same story.

The idea that I could introduce a (selectable) curve to my penis (that would stay against pressure) suggests that I might be able to press on her G-spot to good effect.

At 70, (and having parents that lived into their 90s) I have a fair chance of having a revision before I expire. So, knowing all options coming down the pike is of interest to me.

Your posts have me interested in researching malleables more extensively
