AMS or Coloplast? Which is best for me?

[macoza]

Some surgeons only like one company (I think Eid only uses Coloplast, for example), and some do both but have a preference or bias toward one manufacturer (Hakky does both, but has a slight preference for Coloplast). Others like Clavell are device-agnostic.

Like everybody else, surgeons have biases and preferences. None of that is bad, but you should do your research and know your surgeon’s preferences going in so you can objectively evaluate their recommendations.

Hi ElbowRoom.. appreciate the feedback. Btw what do you mean that Clavell is "device-agnostic?"

I'm looking for a long implant. I think you or someone else mentioned that Coloplast has an implant thats longer than anything AMS has. If thats the case and since Coloplast has a thicker girth then I'll go with Coloplast all the way.

Let me know what you think.

Device-agnostic means he doesn’t really care and doesn’t favor one over the other at all. Clavell will talk a patient through their personal situation and needs and then let the patient choose which implant to go with.

My case was a little unusual — because of my penis size, both Clavell and Hakky said I was basically forced into a Titan, because AMS doesn’t make a large enough implant and the number of RTEs needed could be excessive.
