Advanced ED Care Starts Here

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a common problem, but it can be a complex issue. There is no single cause1 and no one-size-fits-all treatment, and the impact of ED can extend to other areas of life such as relationships and self-esteem,2 thus the need for erectile dysfunction treatment. 

Having conversations with patients early and often about their ED, knowing the treatment options, and engaging with an ED specialist when appropriate may make a significant difference in a patient’s quality of life.  

Treatment options

Patient counseling and treatment selection

Oral therapy is the most common way to treat ED, but 50% of men with ED will stop oral medications because of a combination of both medical problems and psychosocial and relational factors.3 Patients may continue to seek out alternative treatment options that better fit their needs and lifestyle, such as a penile implant.

Penile implants, a long-term treatment option

Penile implants have been in clinical use for over 504 years and can be effective for a wide range of patients. Knowing when it may be appropriate to recommend an implant can be difficult, but the impact they have can be significant.

The AMS 700™ Inflatable Penile Prosthesis

With more than 500,000 devices sold, Boston Scientific is a category leader in penile implants. Our most popular inflatable prosthesis, the AMS 700, is a unique treatment option because it allows patients to be intimate wherever, whenever, and for as long as they want. It is designed for reliability and to allow spontaneity with no medication side effects or ongoing costs. Additionally, it offers a combination of features focused on patient satisfaction.

Patients may have questions about the procedure and how a penile implant works. The implant procedure may, but usually does not, require an overnight hospital stay, and it generally takes a few days to return to a regular routine of light activity. The device itself is designed for ease of use and to look and feel natural.

Your patients may feel some hesitation when it comes to treating their ED. Boston Scientific has created EDCure.com, a patient-focused website designed to help men suffering from ED learn more about their options for erectile restoration.

EDCure has a variety of patient education resources designed to help them in their journey.

Important Safety Information about AMS 700 

Prior to use, please review the Instructions for Use for a complete listing of indications, contraindications, warnings, precautions and potential adverse events. 

Indications for Use: The AMS 700™ Inflatable Penile Prosthesis product line is intended for use in the treatment of chronic, organic, male erectile dysfunction (impotence). 

Contraindications: The AMS 700 Inflatable Penile Prostheses are contraindicated in the patients that have active urogenital infections or active skin infections in the region of surgery or (for the AMS 700 prosthesis with InhibiZone™ Antibiotic Surface Treatment) have a known sensitivity or allergy to rifampin, minocycline  HCl or other tetracyclines, or patients with lupus erythematosus because minocycline HCl has been reported to aggravate this condition. 

Warnings: Implantation of the device will make latent natural or spontaneous erections, as well as other interventional treatment options, impossible. Men with diabetes, spinal cord injuries or open sores may have an increased risk of infection associated with the implantation of a prosthesis. Failure to evaluate and promptly treat erosion may result in a substantial worsening of the condition leading to infection and loss of tissue. Implantation may result in penile curvature, or scarring. Pre-existing abdominal or penile scarring or contracture may make surgical implantation more complicated or impractical. If a hypersensitivity reaction develops to a device treated with InhibiZone, the penile prosthesis should be removed and the patient treated appropriately. 

Precautions: Migration of the device components can occur if the cylinders are improperly sized, if the pump or the reservoir is not positioned properly, or if the tubing lengths are incorrect. 

Potential Adverse Events: May include device malfunction/failure leading to additional surgery, device migration potentially leading to exposure through the tissue, device/tissue erosion, infection, unintended-inflation of the device and pain/soreness.  

Rx Only.
