How to use your penile implant
The Spectra™ Concealable Penile Implant is often recommended to men with limited dexterity or mobility. The implant includes a pair of semi-rigid cylinders placed inside the penis. The cylinders are bendable, so the implant can be manually lifted up for intercourse and manually pushed down when not in use.
Your implant in action:
- Once positioned in place for intercourse, your penis will be stiff and rigid like a natural erection which will last as long as you desire1
- Your implant will be completely undetectable and no one will know it’s there unless you choose to tell them1
