Does anyone knows if it is offered somewhere this kind of device? If not, is there any hope forma it to appear soon in the market?

Welcome to the forum

When I first joined I designed such an implant There were pump bulbs embedded in the rear tip of the implant connected to the saline reservoir. Foreplay on the penis would compress and release the bulbs to start inflation. Coital movements would be even more effective and over time the penis would erect itself, simulating a naturally occurring erection.

Alas, when I calculated the size of the pump bulbs I found that it would take 4,000 to 5,000 pumps to deliver enough saline to erect the implant. Great idea, but the math did not work out. I posted drawings that might intrique you, though.

But you have to read through the forum back to 2016 to find them.

However, reading through old posts will also let you discover ideas already expressed, including a battery powered pump operable with a smartphone app and a "memory metal" implant that responds to changes in temperature induced by a magnetic field.

Have fun reading. You will also find a HUGE amount of other information from past posts. A much quicker way to get a concentrated slug of information than waiting for replies from current members to trickle in

Lots of great ideas are developed every day. It is my observation that it is usally pretty difficult to enter a crowded market place. AMS & Coloplast have a lot of financial backing with smart people working on their products. For a new product or company to squeeze into the market would be nearly impossible.
The existing leaders would just lower their prices or out develope the new idea. Thus taking any profit potential out of the new idea/compnay.

But it is strange for me that none of the already stablished in the market companies hace developer something similar yet. How is this possible? Do you think that it will appear soon? It would be extremely useful... By the way, thanks for the welcome.

The more complex the device, the more points of failure. Having any motorized moving parts that require replacement would increase the chances of revision over the current statistics.

Ideally, an externally activated/powered solid-state type device would be ideal. They are already working on memory-metal based malleables that will go rigid only under certain outside stimulus such as heat or other energy from an external device. These have virtually no moving parts aside from a phase-change metal that goes from malleable to rigid and back again under external command.

If some company could devise a means to expand and contract a solid-state implant, expanding forcefully enough to fill the cavernosa to erection, through outside energies while keeping the moving parts to a minimum, and keeping failure rates to almost nil, that would be almost perfect.

And dos you think that it would be possible to replace the implant if a new model like these appears?

I would think yes. Unless the new implant needs something of yours that was destroyed by placment of the old implant.
