Using your penile implant

Tactra™ Malleable Penile Prosthesis

happy couple embracing

How to use your penile prosthesis

The Tactra™ Malleable Penile Prosthesis is simple to operate and discreetly contained entirely inside the body. The implant is made of thick, dual layers of silicone over a Nitinol (nickel titanium) core for optimal rigidity and durability.1 The device includes one pair of cylinders inserted into the penis. 

Your prosthesis in action

  • Men position the device for intercourse and the prosthesis should feel natural for both partners1
  • When not in use, the prosthesis can be pushed down to easily conceal.1
  • Your prosthesis will be completely undetectable and no one will know it’s there unless you choose to tell them.1

TACTRA™ MALLEABLE PENILE IMPLANT

Your doctor is your best source for information on the risks and benefits of the Tactra™ Malleable Penile Prosthesis. Talk to your doctor for a complete listing of risks, warnings, and important safety information.

The Tactra™ Malleable Penile Prosthesis is intended for use in the treatment of erectile dysfunction (impotence) in adult males. Implanting a penile prosthesis will damage or destroy any remaining natural ability to have a spontaneous erection, as well as make other treatment options impossible.

Men with diabetes, spinal cord injuries, or skin infections may have an increased risk of infection. Implantation may result in penile shortening, curvature or scarring.
