Why Choose the Tactra Malleable Penile Implant?

The Tactra Malleable Implant is specifically designed to provide a natural feel during intercourse, enhancing comfort for both partners. Key features include:

  • Natural Sensation: Designed to closely mimic the feel of a natural erection, ensuring a comfortable experience for both partners.
  • Manual Positioning: The implant can be manually positioned for intercourse and easily concealed when not in use.

How Does the Tactra Penile Implant Work?

The Tactra Penile Implant comprises a pair of bendable cylinders, each made with two layers of silicone surrounding a Nitinol (nickel-titanium) core. This innovative design ensures optimal rigidity and durability while maintaining a natural feel.

  • Usage: When you desire intercourse, simply lift the implant into a straight position to achieve an erection. After sex, you can manually return your penis to a flaccid position, offering a discreet and natural appearance.

What to Expect from the Procedure

Penile implant surgery is typically a straightforward outpatient procedure lasting about an hour. The procedure is performed under anesthesia, with a small incision made above the pubic bone or in the scrotum to insert the implant.

  • Recovery: Post-surgery, you may experience some pain and tenderness around the incision site. It is crucial to follow your doctor’s post-operative instructions, which usually include limiting activity for the first few days and avoiding heavy lifting or strenuous exertion for about a month. Full recovery typically takes four to six weeks, after which your doctor will clear you for sexual activity.

The Tactra™ Malleable Penile Implant is an excellent option for men seeking a durable, reliable, and natural-feeling solution to erectile dysfunction. Consult your urologist to determine if this implant is the right choice for you.
