It is simpler, without a pump or reservoir, unlike the hydraulic implant which inflates and deflates on demand."},{"question":"Who is the malleable implant intended for?","answer":"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."},{"question":"How is it used on a daily basis?","answer":"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."},{"question":"What is the lifespan of this type of implant?","answer":"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."}],"beley_sidebar_rdv_title":"","beley_doctor_band_title":"","beley_doctor_band_text":"","beley_doctor_band_points":null,"beley_doctor_band_image":"","beley_page_cta_title":"","beley_page_cta_text":"","beley_closing_highlights":null,"beley_blocks":[{"acf_fc_layout":"list_block","eyebrow":"","title":"Advantages: Why choose a malleable penile implant?","text":"","items":[{"item":"Permanent solution for erectile dysfunction"},{"item":"Simple and immediate operation: manual positioning"},{"item":"Quick and less complex surgical intervention"},{"item":"Lowest risk of infection"},{"item":"Discretion and comfort in everyday life"},{"item":"Rapid resumption of physical and professional activity after the procedure"},{"item":"Rapid resumption of sexual activity in 4 weeks"}]},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_block","eyebrow":"","title":"Procedure: How is a malleable penile implant inserted?","content":"<ul><li>Local or general anesthesia, according to the surgeon's recommendations<\/li><li> An incision is made in the penis or scrotum to insert the implant.<\/li><li> Insertion of semi-rigid cylinders into the corpora cavernosa allows for the reproduction of the rigidity of an erection sufficient for penetration.<\/li><li> Closure of incisions and post-operative monitoring<\/li><\/ul> Duration of the procedure: 30 min.
