Erectile Dysfunction and penis prosthesis
Penile implants are devices placed inside the penis to allow men with erectile dysfunction (ED) to get an erection. Penile implants are typically recommended after other treatments for ED fail. There are two main types of penile implants, semirigid and inflatable.
For most men, erectile dysfunction can be successfully treated with medications or use of a penis pump (vacuum constriction device). You might consider penile implants if you aren't a candidate for other treatments or you can't get an erection sufficient for sexual activity by using other methods.

Penis Prosthesis-
which device?
Penile prosthesis surgery is considered as the gold standard of treatment when other methods do not provide the desire results. From simple malleable implants to the most-advanced 3-piece inflatable devices, there is always one to choose from which would best fit your personal needs and financial availabilities,
Generally compared, the three-piece devices are being considered as the most superior systems by providing a natural appearing erection and greater flaccidity than two-piece or malleable implants. These advanced, three-part prostheses are inflatable implants available in a variety of models and sizes for a custom fit. Each consists of a reservoir implanted in the abdomen, a pump placed in the scrotum and a pair of cylinders implanted in the penis. The entire device is totally concealed in the body.
The malleable or 1-piece prosthesis consists of a pair of cylinders that are surgically implanted into the penis. This non-inflatable penile prosthesis offers easy use, even for those with limited dexterity.
