As we venture into the specifics of penile implant maintenance, remember that our doors are open to everyone, no matter where you are in the country. With us, you're not just getting a medical device; you're getting a partner dedicated to your satisfaction and well-being.

Getting to know how your penile implant works is the first step to proper care. Our team at Virtua Center for Surgery always ensures that our patients are well-informed about their implants. We believe that knowledge is power, especially when it comes to managing your health.

An implant is designed to be discrete and to mimic the natural erection process as closely as possible. There are different types of penile implants, but most work on a basic principle: a mechanism that can be manually controlled to create an erection when desired. Familiarizing yourself with the operation of your specific implant model is crucial for maintaining it in tip-top condition.

Our staff is always here to walk you through any aspect of your implant's function. Feel free to reach out to us for a refresher course or any clarifications. We mean it when we say that no question is too small for our attention.

At Virtua Center for Surgery , we know that each individual's needs are unique, and so are the penile implants we offer. There are primarily two types of penile implants: inflatable and malleable (or semi-rigid). Both types are highly effective and safe, with satisfaction rates soaring among our patients.

Inflatable implants are the most popular type due to their natural feel and appearance when activated or deactivated. On the other hand, malleable implants are a solid choice for those looking for simplicity and ease of use. We will help you determine which one suits your lifestyle and preferences best.

Understanding the nuts and bolts of your implant will enable you to use it with ease and confidence. Inflatable implants consist of a pump, cylinders, and a fluid reservoir. By squeezing the pump (usually located in the scrotum), fluid is transferred from the reservoir to the cylinders, creating an erection.

For malleable implants, the process is even simpler. These consist of bendable rods that you can position upwards for an erection or downwards when not in use. Our team happily provides demonstrations and practice sessions to ensure you're comfortable handling your device.

Maintaining your penile implant involves a blend of daily care, regular check-ups, and being vigilant for any changes. Daily care might include checking the implant area for signs of infection or practicing the activation and deactivation of your device to keep its mechanism smooth.

Regular check-ups are key as well. Even if everything feels fine, it's wise to have us look things over periodically. We're not just here for routine check-ups; we're here to listen to any concerns or questions you might have along the way.

Regular maintenance checks with Virtua Center for Surgery are a cornerstone of ensuring your penile implant remains in excellent condition. Think of these checks as you would an oil change for your car necessary to keep everything running smoothly.

During a maintenance appointment, our specialists will assess the condition of your implant, test its function, and address any concerns you may have. Preventative care can help catch potential issues early, saving you from more serious complications down the road.

We encourage you to see us for maintenance appointments even if everything seems to be working perfectly. Catching and addressing even the smallest irregularity early on can be key to your implant's longevity and performance.

Our team makes scheduling maintenance visits a breeze. We'll work with you to find appointment times that fit your busy life. These check-ups are crucial for upkeep, so we do our best to be flexible and accommodating.

We suggest that at a minimum, you visit us for a maintenance check once a year, but we can work out a more personalized schedule if your situation requires it. Our goal is to keep you feeling confident and worry-free about your implant.

When you come to see us for a maintenance check, our qualified professionals will ensure you feel comfortable and informed every step of the way. We'll start by discussing how the implant has been functioning for you and any issues you've noticed.

Then, we'll proceed with a physical examination to check the implant's placement and function. Rest assured, we handle every examination with the utmost sensitivity and care. If it's time for a more comprehensive check, such as an imaging test, we'll walk you through that process as well.

If your check-up reveals any issues, don't worry. Our team is well-equipped to handle any necessary adjustments or repairs. We aim to resolve any concerns efficiently and effectively, getting you back to your regular routine as soon as possible.

Even if we identify a potential issue that requires further attention, we'll be with you every step of the way. Providing solutions and support is what we do best. And if your implant requires more detailed attention, we'll explain your options and next steps clearly and compassionately.

Looking after your penile implant extends to your everyday life too. We provide all our patients with comprehensive at-home care tips to keep your implant functioning as it should. And trust us, these tips are as easy as pie!
