The Details
The AMS 700 is an inflatable implant consisting of two inflatable cylinders within the penis and a small pump placed in the scrotum in between the testicles. After implantation, the man’s penis looks natural whether inflated or flaccid. Inflation takes less than a minute.
Penile implants are highly effective and the best solution for patients with severe ED who are unsatisfied with non-surgical treatment options, such as, oral medication, intraurethral gel, and injection therapies.
The AMS 700 penile implant includes a pair of cylinders implanted in the corpus cavernosum within the penis, a pump placed inside the scrotum, and a reservoir of saline placed in the lower abdomen. Squeezing and releasing the pump moves fluid into the cylinders, creating an erection. Deflate the device by pressing the deflate button on the pump. The penis then returns to a soft, flaccid and natural-looking state.
Who’s it for?
The AMS 700 penile implant can be for any man who suffers from erectile dysfunction who is not satisfied with his current treatment options.
