A permanent solution to restore erectile function

Malleable penile implants are an effective and lasting alternative for men suffering from severe erectile dysfunction that is resistant to other treatments.

Procedure: How is a malleable penile implant inserted?

  • Local or general anesthesia, according to the surgeon’s recommendations

Duration of the procedure: 30 min. Hospitalization: outpatient (same-day discharge), or possibly 24 hours.

Malleable implant vs. inflatable implant

The choice depends on lifestyle, patient preferences, and surgeon’s recommendations. Malleable implant

  • Easy to use, no mechanism to activate
  • Faster intervention and simpler recovery
  • Still semi-rigid, requiring manual positioning

Inflatable implant

  • More natural functioning (flaccidity and erection on demand)
  • More complex manipulation requiring training
  • Mechanical risk of leakage or pump malfunction

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a malleable implant and a hydraulic implant?

The malleable implant consists of two semi-rigid rods that are manually positioned: upwards for intercourse, downwards when at rest. It is simpler, without a pump or reservoir, unlike the hydraulic implant which inflates and deflates on demand.

Who is the malleable implant intended for?

It is particularly suitable for patients seeking ease of use, especially in cases of reduced dexterity (osteoarthritis, neurological disease), or when the anatomy does not allow the placement of a hydraulic implant.

How is it used on a daily basis?

Simply straighten the penis manually before intercourse, then bend it back down afterward. The penis retains a certain degree of rigidity, but loose clothing makes it less noticeable.

What is the lifespan of this type of implant?

The malleable implant, without any moving mechanical parts, is very reliable: its lifespan often exceeds 20 years. It can be replaced, including with a hydraulic implant, if the need changes.
