6.5 million cycles claimed by Coloplast

[Bigdog1]

Sounds pretty crazy I know but Coloplast claims the Titan is good for over 6.5 million cycles. That should be more than enough for anyone's lifetime. It doesn't seem possible when I hear the average lifespan of implants range from 10-15 years. Has anyone else seen this claim by Coloplast? I have a document by Coloplast stating the claim as well as a contact at Coloplast verifying.

Here's a link for that https://www.coloplastmd.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/PM00479-Titan-Bioflex-Infographic.pdf

Seems to be a lab test to "material failure" of the implant cylinders. In the real world most of the failures seem to be pumps and tubing connections, but good to know the cylinders are that durable.
