AMS vs Titan Pump Pictures

[Waynetho]

To my knowledge, AMS (Boston Scientific) only has the AMS MS pump.

On my first implant seventeen years ago AMS did not have the MS pump. I do not know what they called it, but it still was a block but did not have the button to release the saline back from the cylinders to the reservoir. You would squeeze the small block one end towards the other end. The ball was also softer it seemed to me to squeeze. On my revision I got the MS pump which was suppose to be an improvement. The key chain sample they give you looked slightly bigger and it had a button which you press it once and it releases all the way quick, and the MS fills up the cylinders fast also with the slightly bigger bulb. They did have some problems with the first MS pumps that come out with the check valve getting stuck, but they have fixed that problem to where it works really good now.
I do not even feel it until I put my fingers on it to inflate. The only way it would feel too big and cumbersome is if a persons scrotum is small. I do not have that problem my scrutum is big and hangs.

All titan pumps are smaller than AMS MS pump. In order :
1. Genesis Is the smallest.
2 Touch pump,
3 Otr pump,
4 MS pump.

The titan pump pictured is the otr. I actually really liked it. It was small and compact. Push button and it released. I had no issue with using it at all period. Just loved it. No pop to get it inflated. Once you pushed deflate button and wanted to inflate I just had to pump it. It was noticeably smaller than my new ams.

I am not real comfortable with the ams pump yet. To inflate you have to give it an initial push and you will feel it pop. No pop. No inflation. If you give it slow squeezes no erection no matter how many pumps you give it. One good pump and a pop and you will pump up an erection. No problem.

Ams pump is bigger for sure and crowds my right testicle more than the titan one did. If my right testicle was pissed at me with the titan pump it is downright hostile now.

To look at positive. It is easy to find deflate button on the ams pump.

As for pumping. No real difference. Pump up. Wait a bit. I can pump up a bit more.

I just hate being at the beginning of this again. 2 times a day, 30 minutes each for at least the next few months.

My opinion is so far I preferred the titan pump, but am liking these softer ams cylinders. Time will tell if they keep peyronies at bay.

Thanks for the responses, everyone. I did my research and absolutely like the AMS 700 LGX and even gave this preference to Doc Kramer. So many benefits if you have an average-sized penis - the deflated state is good, it expands to your original penis size, it does not create any bend ears in the shaft of the penis, etc. The pump size sort of scares me. During summers, my testicle hangs low but I guess the problem will be once winter comes and my testicles shrink. Hopefully, with the pump in the testicles, it won't shrink so much as to cause me discomfort.

The scrotum draws up in the cold (winter, cold swimming pools, ocean water, etc) to keep the testes at a constant temperature a few degrees below body temperature, but not too far below. The shrinkage is supposed to stop when the testes reach that temperature. The pump, especially if it is below the testes should not be a problem, as it will push the testes/testicle up into your body warmth and at that point, your scrotum should stop shrinking and not put any more pressure on the pump than is necessary to keep your testes at the right temperature.

That is, the temperature of your testes governs the tightness of your scrotum, not the extra volume occupied by the pump.

Now, if the pump is above your testicles and prevents them from drawing up to your body warmth (thus getting too cold), I don't know what will happen. Maybe invest in fur underwear?

thanks for the pictures SWO of the pumps and explanation!!!

Thanks for explaining the differences. Always surprised with guys having to do a "do over". Also is good that usually after the first failure the next one installed is bigger? What is the reason for that. VEry interesting yet and maybe if i get a revision for some reason my Titan fails, i should get an AMS to try it out...

Well either way just happy with what mine is doing and that the Titan is not failing me.

Brilliant explanation! Lost Sheep you’re one of a kind. Very helpful and detailed. I really appreciate your input and help.

Also is good that usually after the first failure the next one installed is bigger? What is the reason for that.

Once an implant makes a space for itself, the tissues around it form a pocket of scar tissue (actually this happens with any foreign body inside most any living tissue). The tissues around an inflatable implant (which gets inflated from time to time and therefore compresses some of the living tissue outside the scar tissue), when removed, can be replaced by one just a bit larger. There is at least one medical journal paper on the phenomenon. Sorry, I don't have the link handy.

It does not happen all the time, but often enough to warrant at least one paper on the subject.

Whether this translates to the implant being deeper in the crus, deeper in the glans or simplay a longer penis outside the patient's body is open to speculation and in need of further study.

Does anyone remember that paper. It was cited in FrankTalk, maybe a years ago?
