AMS Penile Prostheses Patient Info Form, Meaning?

[Waynetho]

Well I got my entire OR notes from my doctor and it didn't mention anything regarding distal and proximal lengths, only that after proper dilation with a Hegar dilator to (I think) 15mm, he measured corporal length and determined a 15cm cylinder with no RTE was appropriate.

Activated yesterday. Pump to "First Day Max" this morning. 5.75" Seems youse guys was Spot On. I won't say 6" is in the "bag" (small as it is). It is more than pre-surgery Tri-Mix measurement.

Awesome Day Planned. Local Spa Couples Massage, home to Brake in the new Unit and Candlelight Dinner at the pool. Shrimp Scampi, couple Bottles Wine. Light the Tiki Torches.

thanks to all the guys that helped this day happen.

As said it depends on anatomy. I have a 21cm LGX and 1cm RTE for a total of 22cm. But the 21cm LGX is shown to be able to expand to 24cm in a model they tested and 24.9 in another. I have no data on the CX but it is advertised to not have the length expansion of the LGX but does have girth expansion. I am just a tad over 6" at max inflation.

1. LGX stands for Length and Girth eXpansion.

2.The CX does NOT expand girth!

After CX implant, I'm now 5 inches flaccid and 5 inches erect. No change.

(My lousy dr put a CX in me, although he told me he would put on the LGX. I wanted it due to my large girth. He never told me it was a possibility that he wouldn't use the LGX!)

Reference my post about the AMS/CX not expanding girth. I know they advertise it as optimizing girth, but it did absolutely nothing for me. That's the basis of my statement.

Expansion only happens if there is room for it. This can be achieved by cycling over time. But to the point of feeling stretching. Not to the point of pain however. Also if you had a long wait for activation you may have the "Coffin effect" https://www.researchgate.net/publicatio ... prosthesis This takes a lot of time and work but can be done. As said I have no data on the CX as to expansion but gains with my LGX took a lot of work and time. Over one year and then at three years I did even find a bit more. Gains are so small that they cannot be seen at least with me even week to week. And need to be checked every 6-8 weeks to really see. Some have posted faster results using VED therapy post surgery. So while AMS publishes that expansion can happen that is different from "will" happen. Some men have recoverable loss and some do not.

Take care and best of luck to all with this.

What is the max CX Girth? Either in Lab testing or here on FT? I remember reading a link on here about a lab testing of "strength" to failure point. Anyone point me please....

Pumped this morning and got 4.5" Girth. Oval shaped (expected).

That paper was a comparison of the LGX and the Titan. I have seen no data on the CX. But if anyone can find some I would like to see it also.
