Is this for me?
If tablets, injections or pumps haven't worked—or don't suit you—a malleable implant can offer a long-term, discreet solution you control. Your urologist will discuss all suitable options with you so you can decide together.
Tablets/injections/pumps haven't worked or aren't suitable
You've tried other ED treatments but they haven't provided the results you need, or they're not appropriate for your situation.
You want a long-term, discreet solution you control
You're looking for a permanent solution that's completely hidden and gives you control over when and how long you have an erection.
You're ready to discuss all options with a urologist
You understand this is a surgical solution and want to explore all treatment options through shared decision-making with your healthcare provider.
How it works
Two bendable rods sit inside the penis (everything is internal). Lift up for sex; bend down afterwards to conceal.
Manually position upward for sexual intercourse
The prosthesis can be manually positioned upward when sexual intercourse is desired. The malleable rods inside provide the rigidity required for penetration.
Bend downward for concealment
When intercourse is finished or during daily activities, simply bend the penis downward to allow comfortable and discreet concealment under clothing.
Rigi10™ features Flexible Rod Technology™ with up to 135° bending capability.
What to expect
Surgery day
Usually short stay (per center protocol). Most procedures are performed as day surgery or with a short hospital stay.
Week 1-2
Light activities often resume in 1-2 weeks (as advised). Back to light activity, as guided by your medical team.
~6 weeks
Many people are cleared for sexual activity at about 6 weeks after their follow-up. Your surgeon decides.
Risks
As with any surgery, risks include infection, bleeding/pain and device issues; sometimes revision is needed. We work with your surgeon to minimize risks.
*Recovery is individual. Always follow your surgeon's advice.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will it increase size?
No—implants restore rigidity; they don't increase natural length.
Is it visible?
Implants can be felt but aren't visible outside the body; they are concealed by bending down.
Sensation or orgasm?
Usually unchanged compared with before surgery.
When can we have sex?
Typically, 4-6 weeks if you're cleared at follow-up.
Why malleable vs inflatable?
Malleables are simpler, avoid pump use, and have fewer mechanical issues; inflatables give a softer flaccid state. Choose with your surgeon.
MRI?
Rigi10™ is MR-Conditional and can be safely scanned under specific conditions. Always follow the manufacturer's Instructions for Use (IFU) and consult with your healthcare provider before any MRI examination.
