failure rate: coloplast vs.AMS/Boston Scientific??
failure rate: coloplast vs.AMS/Boston Scientific??
I am wondering if there has been any unbiased study of the two different implant company failure rates - leaking, pump malfunctions, and so on. Anyone know?

Hey mate,
I only know that Dr Eid says that usually Titan’s tubings fail more easily wrt AMS

I read somewhere that the difference was very similar. I don't plan on worrying. If it fails, it'll get fixed.

Some years ago, I asked a similar question of Dr Eid. I asked about the modes of failure as well as the rates. He wrote to me that the tubing connectors (outsourced) of the Coloplast tend to fail more often/sooner than the (pre-connected and manufactured in-house) tubing and connectors of the AMS devices. (Counfused95 is not confused.) But the inflatable tubes of the Coloplast tend to fail less often than the AMS tubes probably due to their construction and the LGX more often than the CX models.
This information was from 2016-2017, so may be outdated now for new devices. Might be important to men already implanted, though.
He did say the failure rates were close to one another, so did not seem (to me) to feel the differences were significant in the decision-making of which device to use.

What about sticky valve issues? Any studies done comparing the two companies in this regard?

Get the Titan with the Genesis pump if you want to avoid sticky valve. I know that pump had some issues with early failures in 2019-2020, but according to Dr. Perito, those were because of a manufacturing issue with the silicone used for the pump and tubing which has since been resolved with a major upgrade.
