Implant Journey - Indian Shah Implant (Malleable)

[LastHope]

Ready2go, I looked through the FDA's event database and one physician has documented something similar to yours. Please see attached. Boston Scientific says it's a "known risk".

What would be considered a large corporeal diameter, and how does something like that get measured?

I think it's by surgeon's clinical judgement during the pre-op doppler ultrasound with either a full inflation or a Trimix induced erection on the unimplanted. Anecdotally it sounds like 6 inches (circumference) as ready2go stated. The surgeon could order MRI for precise corporal diameter measurements, like how they measure tumor progression in oncology, but I don't hear this too often during pre-op implant consults in urology. In my case, he said 13mm rod was already on the tighter side for my corpora during surgery.

JH2007 is a pornstar on this board with, I think, a 26cm Tactra. His girth and length are both well above average. He does not seem to have this “hanging” problem in his post-op porn vids. So, who knows? I wish they would try to actually figure these issues out to resolve them.

That’s great to hear about JH2007’s outcome. I suspect Tactra may have unresolved curvature issues. Attached is another report that suggests inherent curvature flaws in some devices. Nitinol is a highly promising alloy, in fact the best for durability, but achieving the intended shape memory requires a complex manufacturing process. It’s been 6 years since Tactra’s release, so hopefully, the curvature issues have been addressed by now with some manufacturing tweaks.

Ready2go, I looked through the FDA's event database and one physician has documented something similar to yours. Please see attached. Boston Scientific says it's a "known risk".

so its either defective or broke when implanted , maybe from being bent too far. ill look into filing a inquiry/complaint with Boston scientific.
Thanks for that post lasthope .

[ready2go]

Falls to what position, ready2go? 4, 5, or 6 o’clock?

all the way down to the balls . no stiff hinge or needing to "bend" it

Was it like that when you first got it? Why would it do that? I thought the problem was that they won’t go down!

Has this made sex or masturbation more difficult?

oh, no sex isn't a problem . It works just fine for that . the girls i have been with love to do cowgirl and ride /grind on it till they reach happyland . When I'm on my back ,it tends to be upright but will lean to either side some .
when i do say doggie style i need to hold it to insert it ,then its fine . the same with missionary .

Maybe you have some downward curvature due to the imperfect bend memory of Nitinol core. Well, no malleable has picture perfect bend memory. Since you are sexually very functional, I doubt there's a breakage, ready2go.

Here's the consumer medwatch link to file any device concerns to the FDA. Bringing this up to Boston Scientific is a great idea.

its as if it has no bend memory . at least at the hinge area . i can pull it upright and keep it there with sung underwear , but if released it will drop from gravity .
If it was like the shah where it stays up and needs to be held down . i would rather have that .
i did send a email to BOSTON SCIENTIFIC . Ill wait and see if they respond ,and check out the FDA site

That sounds like a much better design! Is the Sha available in the US?

So i was thinking with the penoscrotal approach, the rods would have to bent in a u shape to insert them and with the subcoronal ,it would be more of a straight shot .
and after watching 2 horrible videos of both methods . that is true . the rods are not bent in the subcoronal method at all . While with the penoscrotal method ,they are folded until they touch . and why i think you guys who had the subcoronal approach had a longer time to be able to bend the malleable , the rods being fully intact and never being bent yet .
im thinking the rods i had inserted in the penoscrotal method were damaged in the process at the hinge area . and dr sabharwal does not want to admit it .
i did send a note in email to boston sclentific ,[good luck that getting info ,its like chasing your tail ] they do have a phone number , but calling them from the Philippines is another issue . no more skype and i filed a report on the FDA site .
ill bet an exray of the malleable would show some damage to the core
