Trimony: Enhancing Men’s Health with Cutting Edge Devices

Erectile Dysfunction

Erectile dysfunction affects over 18 million men in the United States of America, which is about 18.4% of the male population over the age of 20. There are various treatment options for erectile dysfunction including oral medication, injectable medications, vacuum erectile aid and penile prosthesis.

Penile Prosthesis

The currently available penile prosthesis models are either malleable or require manual inflation by the man to transition from a flaccid to an erect state. The malleable prosthesis neither provide a very firm nor very flaccid penis, and therefore have decreased popularity. The inflatable (two piece or three piece) penile prostheses have a cylinder which is placed in the penis, a pump which is placed in the scrotum, and in the case of a three piece prosthesis, a reservoir which contains fluid for cycling the prosthesis. In the flaccid state, the fluid is maintained in the reservoir. When a man desires an erection, he manually inflates the pump located in the scrotum. This process can be challenging for some men, especially if manual dexterity is limited, or the pump is placed, or migrates to a part of the scrotum which is not easily accessible. Additionally, having so many pieces to the implant which are placed in so many different locations increases the morbidity of the surgery for placing the implant.
