after how long you are out of the risk of infection

[aussiePeyronies]

The risk of infection is highest when there is any open wound or incision. Once healed the risk decreases significantly. Maintaining proper hygiene while healing is the best way to avoid infections.

One rare case I know of is the fellow who had been implanted probably late 90's. Mid 2010 or so his toothy gf nicked him during oral. He said nothing about it until it got infected and hurt. (Nursing home residents)

Could you elaborate on what happened?

Seeing as oral is quite common, if this is a real issue, it could pose alot of harm for us, and I would like to be aware of the risk.

That's all I know about it, and that was second hand from shy staff (plus the HIPPA rules). I worked therapy in a nursing home and he was one of my patients. I was on my way to bring him to therapy when I saw the squad wheeling him out on a cart. Otherwise, I would have never heard of the incident.
Since they were both nursing home residents their visits were on the sly. Nurses knew but couldn't say anything. I knew the lady; she did have some bad teeth.
So, I guess make sure your partner has good teeth before oral? LOL

The implant triggered an infection after just a nick?

Since I have a total ankle replacement and a total knee replacement that Doctor recommends an antibiotic one hour before any teeth procedure it must be possible for infection. Smal possibility but some.

That's interesting, so any kind of wound anywhere on the body can trigger this?

Sounds more like he just got an infection period from the nick from a tooth ..mouth is full of bacteria for sure ..

Does InhibiZone in AMS have an advantage over the titan? Is the infection rate in one greater than the other?

They are pretty much the same!

With Titan, surgeons can customize the coating for patients who are allergic to specific antibiotics. They can also add antifungals and targeted antibiotics based on culture tests after infections.

Minocycline hydrochloride and rifampin, a combination that has been found to be highly effective against Staphylococcus, the most prevalent cause of device infection, were combined to create the InhibizoneTM coating, which AMS first used in their implants in 2001 (50). For primary implants, reported infection rates were between 1% to 1.61% (60,61).

Infection rates were shown to be lower in the Titan coated implants (1.06% of 2,357 patients) than in non-coated implants (2.07% of 482) in a study comparing the two types of implants.

The implant had nothing to do with the infection, however due to the infection I heard the implant was removed.
