I wanted to share an update regarding my medical situation. I have had several consultations with a specialist at the University of Louisville (UofL) who appears to be genuinely concerned about my condition and utilizes Boston Scientific products. He has recommended the Tactra malleable penile implant; however, if I decide to opt for a three-piece device, he would suggest the AMS 700 CX model. I have the AMS 700 LGX, now.
Given the progressive weakening of my fingers due to essential tremors, I am inclined to choose the malleable implant. Currently, I am unable to fully operate a pump, even if my penis were not herniated at the moment.
I have also located another surgeon, Dr. Hakky in Atlanta, for whom I am seeking insurance approval. He has an excellent reputation, but his consultation fee is $564, which is beyond my financial means at this time. Despite the cost, it would be extremely beneficial to learn his recommendations. Based on my research, I believe the Rigi10 might be a better malleable option than the Tactra. Additionally, I have learned that there is now a one-pump three-piece model available, which could be advantageous for my condition.
It would be ideal to consult with a specialist who is not restricted by corporate limitations on specific devices and has access to a full array of options to determine the best treatment for my particular needs.
