Rigicon is launching a new 2 piece implant

It seems they haven't announced a date for launch yet.

Wow. Thanks for sharing. This is a really interesting approach and novelty.

At last, innovation. Whatever its outcome, it’s a good sign.

"
Fits Every Patient. Even the Most Challenging

Anatomical fit options include 12.5 mm diameter cylinders available in 14 cm, 16 cm, and 18 cm lengths, and 14 mm diameter cylinders available in 16 cm, 18 cm, and 20 cm lengths, with additional extension using ConnectSecure™ Rear Tip Extenders."

Not every patient, but it's a good start.

I agree it's a great step in the right direction.
This is definetly something that could improve quality of life with implants.

Personally i don't need the steel pipe that the titan provides.

A decently strong erection, real flaccid comfort, no reservoir, an easier surgery and lifetime warranty sounds great to me.

Is there any urologist in Europe who takes care of rigicon IPP?

Rigicon will be first to market with a non-scrotal pump device.

I'd love a huge smooth-contoured hydrophilic reservoir + pump in one bluetooth enabled device so we can get rid of our infection prone / frequently malpositioned pump once and for all. No more tubing issues, just device > cylinders without this goddamn pump in our balls, even if that means a belly incision. Yes, I'll go to Turkey for that. Yes, give Dr. Kramer One Million Dollars a month in Bitcoin, tax free, 10 procedures a day, 6 days week. Yes, 15k all included. Yes, mandatory revision at 5 year mark to change batteries, if it breaks before then, you pay, after that, I pay. Step up, Rigicon.

I think there has been 2-piece implants in the past by implant companies. I do not recall why the production stopped.

This looks like a bad design from a stability standpoint.

The reservoir is built around the base of the cylinders so when flaccid it is stretching out the base of the corpus cavernosa. Then when inflated the base of the cylinder would be skinnier inside the stretched area. That seems like a bad idea.

And the longest size of 20cm will mean a lot of RTEs for many of us. RTEs can lead to a hinging effect.

For many guys the reservoir being placed in the abdomen through the inguinal canal is fine. If this is a problem due to a patient’s specific anatomy (known scarring in the lower abdomen for example) this might be a good trade off. Otherwise it looks like a solution looking for a problem.

The innovation I am looking for is a huge improvement in durability of the tubing.

Inflating and deflating is quick and easy. I’m not interested in complicating it with Bluetooth or batteries or electric pumps.

I want more options in sizes (more diameters). A more anatomically correct shape to the cylinders (that will result in a rounder penis, not the flatter oval). Most importantly I want bulletproof reliability. I want tubing that WILL NOT EVER break.
