One of the major advantages of vacuum erection devices is safety. There is no surgery, internal injection or significant side effects. Penile prostheses implants Penile prostheses are implants which artificially provide erections. They are put into place with surgery. Penile prostheses implants were first used in the 1950s and have been successfully used world-wide.
Prostheses require no further treatment after implantation.
Once the prostheses is placed and working, there are no further costs. Once an implant has been placed, natural erections no longer occur. An erection can be obtained on demand without medications, injections or devices. Because an erection is no longer caused by increased blood flow to the penis, the head of the penis does not enlarge with the erection. The semirigid prostheses is the simplest implant with the least chance of mechanical failure.
