Does anyone here have an implant that has lasted for 10+ years

[LastHope]

Why’d it get taken out? Hoping my tactra last this long. I’ve finally moved past ED and fillers.. want to just focus on my hobbies and being with family and friends

Your Tactra will last forever bro. It passed 100K bend cycles. Whenever my Genesis wears out, I'll get a Tactra.

You reckon Rigicon will do the same?

Rigi10 was tested for 50K bend cycles. It's no slouch. The cycle testing numbers are sales gimmicks I know, but if we go by the properties of metals inside those devices, Nitinol has the best fatigue and fracture resistance. Of course only time will tell! Reality is more real than lab numbers right?

The tactra is much less flexible than the genesis correct? This means harder to conceal as well?

In theory, yes, but if we check with Tactra users like ready2go, he’s got nothing but good things to say, no complaints, all positive. Even Genesis is a beast to handle, and learning how to conceal is just part of the game!

Even if it breaks I’m not going through another implant surgery. My surgeon said even if it breaks it’ll just be loose. But it won’t be infected. Do you know anything about this? You’re an encyclopaedia

I don't think that's a good idea, man. There was a guy on here not too long ago with a broken malleable. He didn't seem too happy. But I think that's incredibly rare.

In August it will be 10 years.

I've read of cases where there was no pain, cases with pain, and even situations where the patient wasn’t aware of a break until it was discovered in a pelvic X-ray. Also incidences where one rod broke and still sexually active with the other rod intact.

It all depends on the extent of the breakage. If the sharp, broken silicone edges poke the corpora, there will be pain. If not, the patient may not even be aware of it. Instability of prosthesis would be the first symptom.

One example with no pain after 10 years:

Unfortunately, no. This was a while ago, man. And I don’t know the details either. All I remember is that he had a broken implant, and that his insurance denied him coverage for replacement.
