What is the AMS 700™?

TENACIO™ Pump

• • Identification: The prominent pump bulb grips are intended to facilitate identification and inflation squeeze efficiency.

• • Inflation: Engineered for reliable and efficient inflation, regardless of pumping style.

• • Deflation: High-profile, one-press release button provides tactile feedback designed to help users confirm that deflation has started.

InhibiZone™ Antibiotic Treatment

• • Only antibiotic-impregnated inflatable penile prosthesis on the market

• • Creates a zone of inhibition effective against the bacteria commonly associated with inflatable penile prosthesis infection

• • The AMS 700 IPP with InhibiZone is the only penile implant on the market clinically proven to reduce the rate of revision due to infection

Furlow Disposable Insertion Tool

• • Sterile as packaged designed to reduce the risk of risk of device-related infection due to contamination as a result of improper reprocessing or incomplete sterilization

• • Sophisticated polymer handle and crossbar designed to enhance control and deliver next-generation ergonomics

• • Smooth shaft with new laser etched markings to reduce/eliminate chance of tissue catching during insertion

Conceal™ Low Profile Reservoir

• • Parylene coated to enhance reservoir durability

• • Optimizes fit to offer a sleek, flexible solution

Cylinder and Rear Tip Extender (RTE) Design

• • Reduced proximal profile designed to ease placement into proximal corpora even in difficult to dilate cases

• • Snap-Fit™ RTEs optimize fit and a secure, rigid connection

• • Broad range of RTE lengths provides custom fit for patients (sizing to the nearest 0.5 cm can be achieved, ranging from 0.5-7.5 cm)

MS (Momentary Squeeze) Pump™

• • One-touch button designed to facilitate deflation

• • Lock-out valve designed to resist auto inflation

What is the Tactra™ Malleable Penile Prosthesis?

Designed with proprietary dual-layer silicone, the Tactra™ Penile Prosthesis is a natural feeling malleable constructed around a Nitinol core to optimize rigidity, durability and concealment.

Tactra™ Cylinders

• • Proprietary dual-layer silicone construction for an authentic, natural feel

• • A dynamic Nitinol core provides optimal rigidity, durability and concealment

• • A soft, rounded silicone distal tip is designed to provide maximum patient and partner comfort and satisfaction

• • An articulating flex zone provides optimal concealability when the device is not in use

Axial Rigidity

A powerful Nitinol core gives the Tactra Penile Prosthesis the axial rigidity and column strength for a pair of cylinders to withstand 5.5 times the 1.1 pounds of pressure required for vaginal intromission.

Durability

Tactra™ cylinders are cycled from 0 to 90° bend for 100,000 operating cycles without mechanical failure; this is equivalent to twice the expected device life of 10 years.

Simplicity

• • Simplified cylinder sizing addresses the widest spectrum of patient anatomy

• • Cut-to-length sizing, single-box configuration contains cylinders and Rear Tip Extenders (RTEs) together

• • Consolidated device packaging configuration minimizes shelf space and allows greater accessibility for cases

Ease of Implantation

• • Laser-etched markings on cylinders aid in appropriate cylinder measuring, trimmable to corporal length intraoperatively

• • Insertion-fit RTEs provide a secure connection and stable foundation

• • Tactra may be implanted through multiple surgical approaches
