Rigicon?

[Coasty]

I had my pre-op with Dr Hakky today for my Titan implant surgery in December. He offered a Rigicon implant early next year if I wanted to be part of FDA testing. I don’t know enough about the Rigicon and hesitant to be part of a test group. Is it worth delaying the surgery to get the Rigicon? He mentioned it should eliminate the dog ears and more user friendly pump.

Maaaaybe. How big are you? A testing group is just that…TESTING. The Rigicon has a good history in Europe. But it’s new tech in the states. I would do a lot of research before agreeing to be part of a test concerning my johnson.

I love Hakky to death, he’s an exceptional surgeon and did my implant. But how many Rigicons has he done? Yes, it’s functionally the same as a Titan or AMS. But every device has its quirks and I don’t know if I want to be part of the learning curve. That said, I have no doubt Hakky would do an exceptional job.

Rigicon are getting popular everywhere else in the world, once the FDA approves it for you guys it will become more popular there too.
I'm in Australia, there are a few guys I've chatted to the have mentioned something about the trial here too.
I'm pretty sure here Rigicon give a lifetime warranty as well but I could be wrong, I'm sure one of the other guys will chime in soon

I’m 5.5. It seems he did say a lifetime warranty. Curious if any Rigicon implantees can comment on their experience so far. I’m hesitant and said no but willing to wait a few more months for something that will be in my body for years… assuming it’s a step up.

Just remember that the warranty only covers the cost of the device, not the surgeon’s fees, anesthesia, hospital services, etc.

AMS and Coloplast have 10 year warranty, so lifetime is a step up in that regard but I’m not sure how much it might actually save you, especially if you have good insurance that covers the surgery.

Rigicon has been available here in Australia for a while. My surgeon has been using them for some time as well as AMS, and I first started discussing them with him early 2024. I was originally keen on the Rigicon Infla10 Pulse AX but eventually he steered me away from it after a couple of patients had the tubing connectors fail. Last time I asked he said that they have now fixed the issue with improved connectors on the latest version. I think the couple of guys here are involved in a trial that is feeding into the FDA approval process in the USA. I believe you are correct about the lifetime warranty on the device (only).
