Malleable (Semirigid) Penile Prosthesis

Categories: Device

Description:

A malleable (semirigid) penile prosthesis is a surgical option for men with erectile dysfunction who do not respond to medications or injections. It involves implanting two bendable rods into the penis that remain firm but flexible at all times. The penis can then be positioned upward for sexual activity or downward for concealment. Compared to inflatable implants, malleable prostheses are simpler to use and have fewer mechanical problems. However, the penis stays semi-rigid constantly, which may look less natural and can make concealment harder. Despite these limitations, many men and their partners report high satisfaction after surgery.

A malleable penile prosthesis uses bendable rods that keep the penis firm but positionable, making it a simple, reliable option for erectile dysfunction. It is often chosen because the surgery is less complex, there are no mechanical parts to fail, and it is easy to use for men with limited hand dexterity. The main drawback is that the penis remains semi-rigid at all times, which can affect concealment and natural appearance.
