About your implant

The implant is designed to match the look and performance of

a natural erection. The inﬂatable penile implant is entirely

concealed within the body and is not visible to the naked eye.

Your implant consists of three components:

You recently received a Coloplast 3-piece inﬂatable penile implant.

(placed in the

shaft of the penis)

A reservoir

(placed in the

abdomen)

A pump

(placed in the

scrotum)

About the penile implant procedure

There are three different types of surgical approaches for placing

an inﬂatable penile implant:

Penoscrotal:

A small opening is

made in between

your penis and

the scrotum

Infrapubic:

A small opening is

made above where

your penis meets

your pubic area

Sub-coronal:

A circular opening

made around the

shaft of the penis

Depending on which approach your physician used to place your

implant, you may have swelling and pain in different areas. Talk to your

physician about which approach was used and what to expect

depending on the approach.

The implant is safe for standard airport security and

can be safely scanned by an MRI machine when used

according to the specified MRI conditions for use.

Side effects of the procedure

Like any procedure, the procedure to receive an inﬂatable

penile implant has risks and side effects

including the following.

For additional information, review the Important Safety Information

on the back of this brochure.

Should any of these, or other complications, occur speak to your

physician immediately.

What to expect after your procedure

It is important you follow the medical advice and recommendations

given to you by your physician to ensure the best possible outcomes

after your procedure.

After your procedure, there are a few things you can expect:

• Mild swelling, pain, and discomfort

• Your physician may provide special instructions and/or

prescribe medication to help make you more comfortable

during your recovery process

• Limit physical activity for the ﬁrst 48 hours after surgery.

No heavy lifting until instructed by your surgeon.

• You should not resume sexual activity until you have received

approval from your physician

Difﬁculty with ejaculation

Transient urinary retention

worry if you experience slight discomfort, pain,

and swelling during your recovery. It is not uncommon

to experience these side effects post-procedure.

inflate your device for the ﬁrst time without

receiving approval from your physician.

accept medical advice from anyone

except your physician.

When to call your physician:

• You have pain persisting longer than 21 days

• You experience moderate to severe swelling

of the scrotum

• There is an increase in redness or swelling at your

incision site

• You have a fever/increase in body temperature that

is greater than 101° Fahrenheit

• If you are draining a large amount of ﬂuid

(soaking several pads per day)

Recovery

After the procedure, your body will need time to heal.

During your initial recovery here are a few things to know:

Physical activity

It is recommended

you limit your

activity for the ﬁrst

48 hours. Taking

short walks is okay.

Avoid heavy lifting

or strenuous activity

until you are cleared

by your physician.

Your implant

Do not inﬂate your

implant before

speaking with your

physician. They will

inform you on how

to properly inﬂate

and deﬂate your

device in your

post-op visit.

Sexual activity

Avoid sexual

activity prior to your

follow-up visit. Your

physician will inform

you when you are

ready to resume

sexual activity.

**1-day post-surgery - If you received a urinary catheter, you will

need to return to your physician’s ofﬁce to have it removed. If you

received a catheter and your physician has directed you to remove

your catheter at home outside of their ofﬁce, make sure you have

instructions from your physician for removal.

Pain management

and medication

Your physician

may prescribe an

antibiotic and/or

pain medication

after surgery. Take

these as prescribed

by your physician.

Placing an ice pack

on the penis and

scrotum may help

reduce swelling

post-operatively.

Diet

You should be able

to return to your

normal eating habits

after surgery. Fluids

and a well-balanced

diet will help ensure

a regular voiding

pattern and will help

promote healing.

For diabetic patients,

please work closely

with your surgeon

on your diet.

Showering

You may shower

48 hours after

surgery. Wash the

incision with mild

soapy water and pat

gently to dry. No tub

baths or soaking

until your physician

gives you clearance

to do so.

TITAN® AND TITAN® TOUCH

INFLATABLE PENILE PROSTHESIS -

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

A penile implant, also called a penile

prosthesis, is concealed entirely within

the body to address erectile dysfunction

(impotence). The implant requires some

degree of manipulation before and after

intercourse to make the penis erect or ﬂaccid.

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: (1) Patients with an active infection

present anywhere in the body, especially

urinary tract or genital infection. (2) Patients

with a documented sensitivity to silicone.

(3) Patients with unresolved problems

affecting urination, such as an elevated

residual urine volume secondary to bladder

outlet obstruction or neurogenic bladder.

(4) 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.

Implantation of a penile prosthesis may result

in penile shortening, curvature or scarring.

Precautions: Removal of an implanted

prosthesis without timely reimplantation of a

new prosthesis may complicate subsequent

reimplantation or may make it impossible.

MRI quality may be compromised if the

area of interest is in the exact same area or

relatively close to the position of the Titan,

and Titan Touch IPP. Be sure to consult

with your physician. Patients should discuss all

available treatment options and their risks and

beneﬁts with their physician. Health conditions

which hamper sexual activity, such as severe

chest pain (angina), may prevent successful

use of this device. The prosthesis should not

be implanted in patients who lack the manual

dexterity or strength necessary to operate the

device. Trauma to the pelvic or abdominal

areas, such as impact injuries associated

with sports (e.g., bicycle riding), can result

in damage of the implanted device and/or

surrounding tissues. This damage may

result in the malfunction of the device and

may necessitate surgical correction, including

replacement of the device. The device may be

used in the presence of Peyronie’s Disease.

Potential Complications: Penile implants are

surgical solutions requiring a healing period

that have risks associated with surgery such

as scrotal swelling, auto-inﬂation, discomfort,

angulation/curvature, swelling (edema),

device malfunction, chronic pain, difﬁculty

with ejaculation, transient urinary retention,

fever, migration, patient dissatisfaction,

infection at surgical site or wound, deﬂation,

swelling of clotted blood or clear ﬂuid

(hematoma/seroma), wound leakage,

bleeding, delayed wound healing, narrowing

of the opening of the foreskin (phimosis),

sensory loss, cylinder malfunction, formation

of thick tissue (ﬁbrous capsule formation),

over/under inﬂation, erosion, scrotal

reddening (erythema), genital change,

and inguinal hernia.

This treatment is prescribed by your physician.

Discuss the treatment options with your

physician to understand the risks and beneﬁts

of the various options to determine if a penile

implant is right for you.

Caution: Federal law (USA) restricts this device

to sale by or on the order of a physician.
