penile implant
Surgical rigidity device
A penile implant is a medical device surgically placed inside the penis to treat erectile dysfunction.
The most common type is inflatable, with a pump in the scrotum that transfers fluid to cylinders in the penis, creating an erection on demand.
Semi-rigid implants use bendable rods that keep the penis firm but positionable.
Implants are typically a last resort when medications and other treatments fail.
