Dynamic inflatable penile prosthesis (DIPP) with the enhanced Rigicon Infla10® penile implant: a narrative review

Steven K Wilson et al. Int J Impot Res. .

Abstract

Three-piece inflatable penile prostheses (IPP) have been available for over 50 years. Rigicon (Ronkonkoma NY) introduced a new IPP, the Infla10®, in January 2019. The prosthesis has now been technologically enhanced after feedback from both physicians and patients enabling it to evolve into a new generation of device. Of note are an improved, patient friendly pump with a strain relief to prevent tubing breakage, wider girth cylinders and lengthening cylinders that do not lose rigidity in the longer sizes. The Adaptive® silicone reservoir permits underfilling to facilitate ectopic placement. The present Rigicon Infla10® is a different experience for patients and deserves a new description: Dynamic inflatable penile prosthesis (DIPP). This Rigicon DIPP combines a natural feel that simulates bodily functions for an authentic experience. The device is invisible to observers when not in use and its increased girth during erection provides powerful rigidity.
