Rigicon has brought numerous innovations to the field of prosthetic urology, including the pioneering single-use Insertion Tool.
The experts articulate that “improper cleaning and/or sterilization of the Furlow Insertion Instrument may represent a source of infection for patients undergoing penile prosthesis implantation.” And also “a disposable Furlow inserter might offer the opportunity to reduce the risks of contamination associated with improper instrument handling and impact the rate of device infection.”7
The single-use Insertion Tool is one of the many innovations Rigicon has introduced to the practice of prosthetic urology.

The HL Single-Use Furlow Insertion Tool is a disposable surgical instrument specifically designed for the implantation of inflatable penile prostheses. It is used for passing traction sutures through the glans penis and for measuring each corpus cavernosum—both proximally and distally—to determine the correct diameter and length of the prosthesis cylinders. As a single-use device, it eliminates concerns about incomplete sterilization of reusable instruments, which published research has identified as a potential source of prosthesis infection (Int J Impot Res, 2023).
How does the HL tool compare to traditional insertion methods?
Compared to traditional reusable Furlow inserters, the HL Single-Use Furlow Insertion Tool offers several advantages aligned with current best surgical practices. Its factory-sterilized, single-use design ensures consistent performance and removes the risk of cross-contamination from inadequate reprocessing. The tool provides precise cylinder placement within the corpora cavernosa, helping to minimize tissue trauma and reduce the risk of complications such as corporal crossover or urethral injury. According to the EAU Guidelines on Sexual and Reproductive Health (2024), meticulous surgical technique during penile prosthesis implantation is critical for achieving high patient satisfaction rates. Studies using Rigicon instruments report decreased operative time and easier dilation (DOI: 10.14744/nci.2022.68889), contributing to optimal surgical outcomes.
