Premature failures

Postby Rov999 » Wed Dec 14, 2022 8:01 pm

I noticed that here on the forum the implants that Eid installed have much more life than the implants installed by other doctors..and also here in the forum someone wrote that Dr Eid uses a different coating or tubes when he installs them..it's true ? or does it just change the surgeon's ability to place the tubes so they don't break? Or is it just bad luck?

I would also love to know. My guess is that these implants aren’t built as well as they used to be..just like everything else. Probably a lot of lazy people doing the actual physical work in a factory. The engineer can design the best implant ever, but it doesn’t matter if shitheads put it together

that's what I think too .. today's materials are cheaper than years ago .. on any object we buy, everything is poor

I watched this a few days ago from Dr. Eid. Seems to explain well the failure points. For Titans, Eid recommends the classic pump, which has (in his opinion) the best tubing design. Seems installation is important too, no kinking and no rubbing of the tubes.

With the AMS, he says the cylinders themselves may be the failure point, as they have better tubing.
