My implant failed at 6 years. I think.

The final frontier. Deciding when, if and how.

Hi JIm: I couldn't find any troubleshooting tips on the site. I am pretty familiar with my equipment, but I am open to suggestions. As I said I can use the pump for 4 pumps and then it remains flat until I hit the deflate button. I can clearly feel the click when I start inflating again, but it goes flat after 4 pumps and I am a semi-rigid penis. However not enough for penetration.

Mine failed after 5 yrs and replicates everything you are going through now. The revision is not nearly as bad as the first implant. I went from Titan to AMS, really like it. When you get the revision and if they are to my to replace it all, ask about your reservoir, most leave them in, I wanted mine removed. My surgeon did just that removed the Titan and placed the AMS.
