How long does the AMS 700 Penile Prosthesis Implant last?

The AMS implant range are used worldwide to help solve impotence problems where other methods have fallen short. They are suitable for men who have chronic erectile dysfunction and can enable you to obtain a spontaneous erection that is strong enough for sexual intercourse. One significant advantage of the 3 piece AMS implant is that it expands in both girth and length.

This is very important too most men when they consider their options in penile implants. Protecting or improving penis size is always a priority. It is not entirely about the erection. Men who have had implants previously and lost size are usually disappointed. This can affect their self confidence going forward. Be sure to discuss the effect on your penis size when you see a urologist.

How long does it last?

This is the most pressing question we have been asked about the AMS 700 Penile Prosthesis Implant. Well, the implant is durable and can last patients for many years as it is made of silicone and coated with parylene to mitigate cylinder fatigue and wear. According to a clinical review of over 50,000 implants, the 7 year mechanical failure free survival rate for the AMS 700 was 94.1%.

Infection rates with the AMS 700 with InhibiZone treatment are around 1%. In patients with diabetes who may be at higher risk for infection, the AMS 700 penile implant with InhibiZone has very low infection rates. This is compared to Non-InhibiZone coated implants beating it out by 1.47% vs 4.17%.
