Tenacio Pump: HELP

[Dprimal]

I agree that's defo something off. Idk maybe you are lucky and it will fix itself, but hakky should have been more supportive. Also just for clarification, your first Titan was from hakky and you got infection and erosion?
During the months you were implantless you followed any specific routine in order to not lose size?

I ensured to cycle 2x day for 30-45 mins which ensured that I didn’t lose size with the Titan.

I see.
Damn man, it's a shame. I hope your insurance is covering this revisions and issues

It’s covered….thank God

Well but what Hakky has to say?
He just think it's fine like it is?

He inflated it to about 10% and said “you’re not going to be as hard as you were with a Titan.” Initially he said that the pump was too deep then he said it’s because it’s new. He kept eluding that I won’t get much harder than that. Then he said we’ll watch it.

This just sounds off to me. What’s the point of an implant that will not inflate and become rigid enough for sex? If I can’t get much harder than 10%, I can’t use it.

I remained implanted the whole time. The infection started in my scrotum. A round of antibiotics cleared it up. After about 1 week, it came back so I had another round of antibiotics and didn’t touch it. When the infection was gone, scar tissue encapsulated the pump so much that I couldn’t get to it. After 3 weeks of hard massaging, I was cleared for sex. After 2 days, my sac started itching & burning. Then one of my cylinders started protruding through the head. I had a revision 4 days later.

My back story I got implanted by Hakky on Apr 15, 2025 with a 24 CX with 2 RTEs and the Tenacio pump.

1. Has anyone has a similar issue occur? I have not.
2. How long did it take to inflate to 100% capacity? I am still cycling & I am not yet at 100% because the bulb never gets rock hard
3. Is there a way to override this issue? (I’ve tried using the reset for a sticky pump, but didn’t have any luck.) Does your bulb get rock hard. What happens if you continue cycling/pumping?
4. Can the Tenacio pump even get my CX cylinders to inflate? I’m not seeing any indications of that yet. My cylinders definitely inflate to the point where the tips actually start to hurt. It is more than hard enough for PIV sex. I am hoping to max out the length soon so that I can get more girth expansion.

Right now my inflated length is right at 8 inches and the girth is 1 10/16 inch wide. I measure width and not circumference. I hope to get to 1 12/16th inches fully inflated eventually. What I find is that my girth is bigger when I am not fully inflated because I get better blood flow I think.
It seems that your Titan definitely gives more girth for sure.

Hopefully Hakky will have a resolution for you soon. My understanding is that revisions tend to go go more smoothly than the initial implant. Maybe your issue is related to the recall of some of the Tenacio pumps. I would try to specifically exclude that as a possibility. Maybe call the manufacturers rep and ask them some specific questions.
If Hakky's response and interaction with you was as you related it to be, that would be very disheartening for those of us who are his patients.
Hang in there I believe you are in good hands and you will achieve the desired results soon.

- Does your bulb get rock hard. What happens if you continue cycling/pumping?
My bulb is pliable but stiff. As far as cycling goes…I attempted to cycle for 45 mins today. Once I hit 10%, I counted 100 pumps (some stronger than others) but there was not an increase. I deflated and tried to unstick the deflated button, but I achieved the same result.

- Maybe your issue is related to the recall of some of the Tenacio pumps.
Hakky advised that my name wasn’t on the recall list.

- Maybe call the manufacturers rep and ask them some specific questions.
I contacted them via email and got a call from them today, but I missed it. When I called back I didn’t get an answer so I’ll try again next week.

On the Tenacio pump I've found rapid "butterfly" pumps to be more effective then fully squeezing the pump. I've tried fully squeezing the pump and letting it refill and squeezing again and it seemed to take forever to pump it up. Doing the rapid quick small squeezes or "butterfly" pumps, it did not take long at all to fill the cylinders. Maybe give the quick short pumps and try and see if that works better

I’m specifically looking for assistance from guys who have experience with the Tenacio pump. I know everyone has their opinions about different pumps and implants…I get it, but I need some help with the Tenacio.

I recently got a revision which included tenacio pump and an AMS CX cylinders from Dr Hakky. I’m on my 3rd day of cycling and there hasn’t been any action in the cylinders. My first implant was a Titan (which ultimately got infected and the left cylinder was protruding from my head). When I started cycling my Titan, I was able to get to 100% by day 3. With the Tenacio, I’m pumping the hell out of this thing and am getting to about 10%-15%. I’ve tried squeezing the deflate button for 4-6 seconds to reset it, then tried again; but I received the same results. I visited Dr. Hakky about this and he pumped it up to the same semi that I could get it to, then he said “see you’re getting some inflation.” I told him that whatever that is, there’s no way I could have sex with it because it’s not even close to being able to penetrate with; it’s too soft.

I know everyone has their opinions and I’m aware that the Titan and the AMS CX are different. Since I can’t go back in time and get a different pump, I really need some insight from those who have had experience specifically with the Tenacio pump.

1. Has anyone has a similar issue occur?
2. How long did it take to inflate to 100% capacity?
3. Is there a way to override this issue? (I’ve tried using the reset for a sticky pump, but didn’t have any luck.)
4. Can the Tenacio pump even get my CX cylinders to inflate? I’m not seeing any indications of that yet.

Thank you for your time. I greatly appreciate it. I really hope someone can help me out because this is mentally kicking my ass.

I had this issue when I first started cycling. Try small, minuscule, baby pumps. That worked for me in the beginning; then I could eventually pump deeper. However, I don’t have the Tenacious pump.

Smoothly doesn't mean less risks. Feeling less pain and less swelling in revision are not something to be regarded as positive. I understand surgeons made us believe so..but that's not true.

THERE ARE NO POSITIVES ABOUT REVISIONS.

What’s your opinion on the Tactra?

If I responded here that would be considered hijacking..Make a separate thread on MPP comparisons/drawbacks and I will gladly contribute as boldly as I've always been.

What if I just DM you?
