Whenever possible, it is best for a man's sexual partner to be involved in the decision to have a penile implant. His partner will have questions and concerns about the procedure and also will have to adjust to this new physical relationship. Open communication between sexual partners is just as important to the implant's success as the operation itself. Penile prosthesis offer a new dimension in reliability and sexual satisfaction to the impotent man and his partner. Sex is the ultimate in human sharing, transcending all other experiences.
Penile prosthesis allow one to return to that world of sharing.
The Mentor Alpha I Inflatable Penile Prosthesis, the Mentor Mark II Inflatable Penile Prosthesis and the Mentor Malleable Penile Prosthesis are well accepted for restoring sexual function. The decision as to which implant would be best for a particular man depends upon such things as manual dexterity, general health, anatomy, and personal preference. Each of these implants has advantages and disadvantages and these should be thoroughly discussed with your physician or urologist before a final decision is reached. Mentor penile prostheses have an excellent record for patient safety and satisfaction. However, all implantable devices have certain risks and potential complications associated with their use.
