New AMS Tenacio pump......

[Journeyman]

I'm curious about it . Any feedback from the members implanted with it would be appreciated. How does it feel ? Is it easy to pump ? Find the deflate button ? Is it quiet when pumping ? Thanks in advance.

Does any have a history of improvements to 3 piece implants? How often do they come up with improvements? From what I can tell it’s pretty slow. Other than the one case above, don’t know of others that got the new pump. Do we know if it’s bigger/smaller than the old?

Due to the bureaucracy of FDA approvals and costly clinical trials, advancements will be slow considering the device sales revenue, unless penile implants fall under an initiative like Operation Warp Speed!

Rigicon Infla10 claims the following improvements. It's still not FDA approved but haven been used overseas since 2019. A lot more data needs to be gathered before any of the claims can actually be verified in real life.

1) The use of a proprietary fourth layer, which is claimed to enhance cylinder surface integrity. This appears to be an attempt to differentiate themselves from AMS, which uses three layers and would be generally considered softer than Coloplast.

2) Pump technology designed to offer ease of both inflation and deflation, seemingly trying to strike a balance between AMS and Coloplast pump designs.
