A New Chapter - Rigicon Infla 10 X - Germany

Mr. Osmonov told me I no longer need to remove the pump; apparently, they do it differently during the surgery than they used to. It stays down permanently. I can also feel the sac very low down, almost in the middle.

How long did it take you after the surgery to find and operate your pump and the drain button? What was it like the first time?

On 11 November 2025, I had a revision from ZSI to AX10.

I started cycling again after six weeks. After four days, I went back to hospital because I couldn't find and operate the valve to deflate the tyre.
Even today, it's still difficult to locate the valve and press it hard enough to deflate the tyre completely with the first push. The ZSI was easier to use.

To date, I have not gained any weight or increased in height. Perhaps that will come later.
Inflation requires fewer pump strokes but the same amount of effort as with the previous model. I use the ball of my foot and the thumb of my left hand. To deflate, I always have to feel for the two round ‘plates’ first. With my right hand, I pull the pump downwards and then press the button firmly down with the thumb of my left hand. It often happens that the pump slips away. Annoying.
You can find pictures of the pump online.

Right now the pump feels hard. I was able to briefly locate both plates, but not the button. I'm currently about 30 percent inflated. My activation is scheduled for March 13th. Was your pump also very hard at the beginning? Is it easier now?
