Coloplast Titan

Postby cprevbhayes » Fri Apr 02, 2021 10:09 am

Hello all! New to the board. Had surgery on December 29 to implant the Coloplast Titan, so I'm just over 3 months out. Not sure if I like this thing or not. Having tons of trouble getting it to inflate. Bulb feels like a steel ball bearing when I try to squeeze it. Have been back to urologist twice and he says its normal and to give it time. I did read on Coloplast's website about problems with a "sticky valve." Their solution was to use both hands, one on the deflate valve, and then squeeze the bulb 10 times rapidly to release the valve. When I do that, the bulb pumps quite easily. Of course, with the deflate valve also pressed, its not going to inflate. Back to the same ball bearing hardness when I release the deflate valve I've tried to contact Coloplast with no response. Anyone else have this problem, and if so, what's the solution? Thanks!

Loved my titan. Pump does take some learning but prefer it over my ams 700 rectangular block. I will go back to it on my next revision.
18 cm plus 1 rte titan installed March 2019. Revision March 2020 by Dr. Andrew Todd, Richmond KY. He replaced the titan with an AMS 700 LGX 18 cm cylinder plus 2 rte for 20 cm total length.
