Find the right prosthesis for more patients
The prevalence of erectile dysfunction is increasing among men meaning more patients may be seeking a long-term solution.
Inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) surgery is a big step, and both you and your patient want to make sure it goes smoothly and meets expectations for a satisfying outcome. Complex patient populations can result in a higher likelihood of complications which means as a physician you have a lot to consider when choosing the right implant for your patient.
Operating room considerations
Up to
78%
of IPP patients are diabetic, which can almost double the risk of infection.1,2
Up to
50%
of IPP patients had previous pelvic surgery/trauma which may lead to a higher risk of penile shortening and could require special considerations for reservoir placement
Up to
33%
of IPP patients had Peyronie’s disease, increasing risk of device malfunction and penile shortening—reducing functionality and post-op satisfaction rates by 7%
Approximately
30% revision
surgeries
Approximately 30% of IPPs implanted in 2021 were revision surgeries, also increasing likelihood of infection among other possible complications.
Bedroom considerations
Along with complexities in the operating room there are patient concerns that carry into the bedroom.
The number one concern among patients is decrease in penile size
70%
of of patients endorse loss of length even in absence of measurable evidence.
Patient dissatisfaction after surgery accounts for approximately
75%
of malpractice claims against surgeons, with average payouts in urology of around $319,000
Titan® IPP satisfaction rate from patients
96%+
IPPs have a high satisfaction rate for both patients and their partners.

Technology that’s designed and engineered for performance
Power of choice
HydroVANTAGE™ hydrophilic coating absorbs an aqueous solution of physician’s choice on submerging the device in the solution.
Tailored fit
Because there’s a wide variety in the male anatomy, Titan IPP is available in a wide range of standard and narrow sizes so you can choose the right fit for each patient.

Performance that satisfies so your patients can rediscover their confidence and get back to a healthy sex life
Two pump designs to better suit patient needs
The tried-and-true Titan pump has decades of experience, and the Titan Touch Pump offers simplified deflation with less force required to trigger device inflation.
Soft-molded tips
For a more natural feel that more closely resemble human corporal tip.
Lock-out valve
keeps the patient in control by preventing the embarrassment of unintended auto-inflation.
Titan and Titan Touch Inflatable Penile Prosthesis Brief Statement
Indications
The Titan and Titan Touch Inflatable Penile Prosthesis is indicated for male patients suffering from erectile dysfunction (impotence) who are considered to be candidates for implantation of a penile prosthesis.
Contraindications
The Titan, and Titan Touch Inflatable Penile Prosthesis is contraindicated in patients who have one or more of the following: Patients with an active infection present anywhere in the body, especially urinary tract or genital infection. Patients with a documented sensitivity to silicone. Patients with unresolved problems affecting urination, such as an elevated residual urine volume secondary to bladder outlet obstruction or neurogenic bladder. Patients unwilling to undergo any further surgery for device revision.
Warnings
Implantation of the device may make latent natural erections, as well as other interventional treatment options, impossible. Men with diabetes or spinal cord injuries, as well as immunocompromised patients, may have an increased risk of infection associated with a prosthesis. Failure to evaluate and promptly treat erosion may result in a substantial worsening of the condition, leading to infection and loss of tissue. Implantation of a penile prosthesis may result in penile shortening, curvature or scarring. Pre-existing abdominal or penile scarring or contracture may make surgical implantation more complicated or impractical.
Precautions
Surgeons implanting penile prostheses should be familiar with the currently available techniques for measuring the patient, determining implant size, and performing the surgery. Removal of an implanted prosthesis without timely reimplantation of a new prosthesis may complicate subsequent reimplantation or may make it impossible. A thorough preoperative consultation should include a discussion between the patient and physician of all available treatment options and their risks and benefits. The prosthesis should not be implanted in patients who lack the manual dexterity or strength necessary to operate the device. The device may be used in the presence of Peyronie’s Disease. If the manual modeling technique is to be utilized, see the Surgical Protocol for more information.
Potential Complications
Scrotal swelling, auto-inflation, discomfort, angulation/curvature, edema, device malfunction, chronic pain, difficulty with ejaculation, transient urinary retention, fever, migration, patient dissatisfaction, site infection, deflation, hematoma/seroma, wound leakage, bleeding, delayed wound healing, phimosis, sensory loss, cylinder aneurysm, fibrous capsule formation, over/under inflation, erosion, scrotal erythema, genital change, wound infection, and inguinal hernia.
