Indications for use

The Titan Inflatable Penile Prosthesis is indicated for male patients suffering from erectile dysfunction (impotence) who are considered to be candidates for implantation of a penile prosthesis.

Contraindictions

The Titan and Titan OTR Inflatable Penile Prosthesis is contraindicated in patients who have one or more of the following conditions:

  • Patients with an active infection present anywhere in the body, especially urinary tract or genital infection.
  • Patients with unresolved problems affecting urination, such as an elevated residual urine volume secondary to bladder outlet obstruction or neurogenic bladder.
  • Patients unwilling to undergo any further surgery for device revision.

 Warnings

  • Implantation of the device may make latent natural erections, as well as other interventional treatment options, impossible.
  • Men with diabetes or spinal cord injuries, as well as immuno-compromised patients, may have an increased risk of infection associated with 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 of a penile prosthesis may result in penile shortening, curvature or scarring.
  • Pre-existing abdominal or penile scarring or contracture may make surgical implantation more complicated or impractical.
  • This device contains solid silicone elastomer.
  • Reuse of this single use product may create potential risk to user.
  • Products containing iodine should be carefully rinsed to remove residual solutions from the prostheses and the implant site.
