Malleable Implanted (Tactra 27X13)

Ready2go has done his due diligence.

I saw an interesting tweet. I know this is a Tactra thread, but I'll still share it. Small Carrion malleable was the first commercially available malleable in the US. Some dude seems to have gotten 46 years of use out of it. So we can atleast say that it didn't erode for 45 years, not too bad

Super funny to have a penile implant with a brand name of "Small-Carrion." Small being the thing nobody wants for a penis, and Carrion being the dead flesh that vultures eat, lol.

What a PR misstep!

Hey Doc, is there any way I can get a large Carrion?

No, unfortunately the designers are Michael Small and Hernan Carrion

11mm rod - 1.36 " girth x 2 =2.72 "
13 mm rod -1.60 " girth x 2 =3.2 "
15 mm rod -1.85 " girth x 2 = 3.7 '
not including what its inserted into
. 48" more girth wth a 13 mm rods than 11 mm
nearly an inch [.98] from a 15 mm rod to an 11 mm rod x2

Your girth comes from your tunica albuginea, not from the rods.

And Dr. Carrion's son is now one of the leading implanters in the country ..does more malleable than anyone else in the country .. also known for his penile repair surgeries.

Can someone comment on why the malleable is less prone to infection? biofilm formation should be the same I'd imagine. Have there been advances in implant material that prevent the formation of biofilm?

It's a good question. I always assumed it is because of less components. There are no tubes, no reservoir, and no pump, all separate parts which can become infected on their own. But that is just my guess. Curious what the official explanation is.

My doctor told me that there's a much lower risk of infection because of this. There's fewer components, no fluid reservoir to place and manage, no real risk of mechanical failure, less overall movement of components. It's also easier to sterilize the malleable rods than it is to sterilize the 3-piece.

Your girth comes from your tunica albuginea, not from the rods.

Forget about the diameter for a second. Based on your point, we already have a tunica albuginea and we already have girth.

So, why even consider rods in the first place?

The real issue we are fixing here is rigidity. Percentage of rigid volume (length+girth) for our anatomical limits. What we already have, if working optimally, is purely ancillary.
