A New Chapter - Rigicon Infla 10 X - Germany

[Chris1967]

Good afternoon, I had a Rigicon Infla 10 X implanted yesterday at the university hospital by Professor Dr. Osmonov. It's 22 cm long + 2 cm, with a 110 ml reservoir. After the surgery, it was left inflated to about 30 percent. I'm currently in the hospital with a catheter and a drain for blood. I'm receiving antibiotic infusions and pain medication. I'll be discharged on Friday. I'm from Bonn and will be staying in a hotel until Sunday. My wife is driving me the 500 km back.

Congrats and welcome to the brotherhood.

Sounds like you are well on your way. Any info you can share about your Rigicon is particularly welcome. It isn’t widely available in the USA yet so lots of interest in it.

Ice packs were the best thing for comfort in those first couple days. Less swelling. Less discomfort.

Take it easy and rest as much as you can.

Thank you! Yes, I got ice last night. The swelling isn't very bad.

Great.

When you get approval to inflate/deflate let us know what the experience of their pump is. How easy/hard it is to inflate. How the pump feels (does it have blocky squared off edges, or is it primarily round/oval). How easy is it to locate and activate the deflate button.

The X is harder and expands slightly less in length but well in width.

Thank you so much for your well wishes. Yes, I'll let you know how it goes when I can put it into operation in six weeks. It was successfully inflated to 100% after the surgery. Everything looked good. Now it will remain at 30% for six weeks.
