Regicon Malleable Implant Journey

[LastHope]

That's sad to hear that after 3 weeks things can turn this south. Rigicon's lifetime warranty is a good excuse to go for it compared to Spectra.

Yes Spectra was mentioned but I would think we would keep with Rigicon since it is not the implant that has failed but possibly undersized. It's possible that when I had the so called infection that never was last year there was so much extra swollen flesh on my penis that things stretched out.Not sure if I'm allowed to post a photo of what that looks like on here or not. He was fine at 3 week checkup 2 days later it looked like a hand grenade went off in my underwear.

Post them pic's easy,,,,,,,,,,, a pic is worth a thousand words,,,, have all of your questions written down,,, don't let them hurry you,,, might be the last chance to get it right,,, and you know we are all pulling for you brother.

Nope not going to be railroaded into what "they" think is best. The Rigicon has worked ok it did not fail, it was just undersized. Unless they can show me a medical reason to go to a different brand implant I plan on staying the same.

Good call, easymoney. We just don't know what contracts the surgeons may have with the prosthetic companies.

There are no scientific studies comparing different malleable implants in market today. Any surgeon with a strong opinion or patients forming strong opinions after doing their kindergarten-standard hand axial rigidity test is just pulling things out of their a$$.

Good analogy of implant comparisons .. Have seen a few on u tube mainly by Indian dr's shows the good and bad an almost always is the brand they don't use .. I know Rigicon is lifetime warranty ..135 degree .. have had mine 11 months I hardly notice I have it.

You on the other hand driver have the Genesis don't know if you picked it or your dr. or both after a discussion... it has a good track record .. an ok warranty ..and according to you after 4 months of use it works as advertised

And Tactra by Boston Scientific which replaced their spectra model a few years back .. that one my dr. won't use due to limited sizing and the fact it is almost impossible to bend with 13 or 14 mm rods.

I definitely take real-world patient reviews seriously.

Thanks to thedriver and mbambo for sharing your experiences with malleables.

Regarding Tactra, ready2go with 13mm rods seems satisfied with the bendability. His main complaint is that his Indian surgeon talked him out of the 14mm Rigi10.

The two popular Indian YouTube surgeons are each affiliated with Rigicon and Boston Scientific. In my opinion, their reviews are trash.

yeah they dont do measured mechanical tests , as in a press with a gauge to see at what point the rods will bend . my own trial when presented with the different malleables was that the tactra was noticeably stiffer . not that in real life use, the ridgcon wouldn't be satisfactory. as members here have reported .
My only disappointment is the destruction of the spongy tissue when the rods were placed. that tisse is all but gone . resulting in a 1 inch lose of girth . from 6 down to 5 . although the 2 girl 'fuck buddies" i have been with have no complaints and want to come back for more .
im still working on planing on getting HA fillers either in s. korea or thailand and if i need to do a touch up once a year ,thats fine with me .
but im wondering if preserving the spongy tissue is a matter of the procedure used and if i had a different doctor if i had kept more girth
i would recommend if your over 5 inches in girth to go with a 14mm rod implant . That ,with 2 rods will at least give you 1/4 of an inch more girth and that makes a difference on a penis
as far as bendabilty , i have no problem with the tactra . after a month its easy and before that the only discomfort was sensitive glans . that over now and it is great to ave a 24/7 hard on thats ready to go ,no mateter my amount of sleep or drinks late into the night . just bend it up and its go time for as long as you want or as much as the girl can take .

That's cool, man. I take your Tactra review more seriously than any surgeon who might be biased due to a contract with a specific company. There's a lot of noise on YouTube.

How did you find the Genesis rods when you were at the doctor's office? I'm planning to go with those because my surgeon has zero experience implanting other brands, and I don't want to be a guinea pig for him with Rigi10 or Tactra lol!

Well having a Rigicon for a year now and getting ready to do a revision in the AM and from all the information I have read. Each dr. has an opinion based on fact .. the manufacturer's rep information ... feedback from patients .. or learning it from the many conferences they go to ... unless the dr. himself is implanted I doubt they have the ability or experience to give out too many facts on the implant you are getting .. And I think each penis in itself makes a difference . .. my 70 year old no erections for 2 years before surgery penis to a 65 year old that was losing firmness and went into an implant our size loss will be different and the older you get the more you lose it's a fact. Most important thing should be with all the BS about size etc in the background is that we have a working penis when and forever how long we want it... that's the bottom line in the whole deal.

Well said easymoney. What we want is a working penis period.
