Titan Bioflex cylinders are bulletproof. The silicone tubes will rub against each other and wear out, even if we maintain celibacy. :D


i dont understand your answer, first you say they are bulletproof, then you say it will wear out even without utilisation ?


The Titan’s cylinders and reservoir are made of Bioflex, a super-tough plastic. The classic pump is also badass. The real weak spots are the silicone tubes connecting everything together. Because they’re softer, these take a real beating from constant rubbing, twisting, and pulling and that's where most failure events are.

oh ok, so if this breaks the revision is less ''invasive'' since you only change this part and not the two cylanders ?

Yes. They try to avoid single component exchanges (like a pump swap) as they're technically associated with a higher infection rate vs a full remove and replace. Some still do it if the risk-benefit ratio favors the patient.
