Infection reduction

• Only penile implant impregnated with antibiotics proven to reduce infection
• InhibiZone™ is an antibiotic treatment found only on the AMS 700 that has been shown to reduce infection rates to 1.2-2.5%
• Historically, infection rates with penile implants are low – 3 out of 100 men (3%) will experience an infection; however some men may be at higher risk for infections.

Usability

• Once activated, maintain an erection for as long as desired.
• Broad range of lengths provide custom fit for patients.

Momentary Squeeze Pump

• One-touch button designed for deflation and ease of use.
• Lock-out valve designed to reduce auto-inflation.

Reliability and Durability

• Parylene coated to improve long-term durability of the device.
• Designed to be a permanent solution to ED.

According to a patient survey, an overwhelming majority of 97% expressed satisfaction with the Boston Scientific AMS Implant.

How it works?

The AMS 700 penile implant includes a pair of cylinders implanted in 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.

The Porcedure

The implant procedure is usually done on an outpatient basis. A small incision is made in the scrotum or above the pubic bone and a surgeon inserts all components through this opening. The surgery is performed under anesthesia. You may experience pain and soreness at the surgical site. It generally takes a few days to return to your regular routine of light activity. Physicians typically say to wait 4-6 weeks before intercourse.

Risks

As with any medical procedure, complications can occur. Side effects include, but are not limited to: natural or spontaneous erections as well as other interventional treatment options will no longer be possible; infection, in which case the implant may have to be removed; pain (typically associated with the healing process); mechanical failure of the implant.

Taking the Next Step

It’s helpful if both partners go to the doctor together. Ask questions about medications and procedures, talk about your symptoms and ask about the best treatment option for you.
