The AMS 700TM is ideal for a man with good mental and physical dexterity who wants a natural looking erection and a more natural flaccid state than a one- or two-piece implant can provide.
AMS 700 Series products may be well suited for men who:
- Have adequate manual strength and dexterity to operate a mechanical device
- May require routine endoscopic procedures
- Have Peyronie's disease or previous priapism (AMS 700CX model only)
- Require repeated MRIs
The AMS 700 Series may not be right for you if you:
- Do not have sufficient dexterity to operate a 3-piece device
- Have abdominal scarring that will not allow reservoir placement
- Need to keep a condom catheter in place
The best way to determine if the AMS 700 Series is right for you is to talk to your doctor.
Patient Profile Anthony is a 53 year-old man with atherosclerosis. The disease was discovered after Anthony had consulted his physician about an increasing problem of ED. After the diagnosis and an unsatisfactory trial of Viagra, Anthony tried vacuum and injection therapy as his second line of treatment. However, none of those treatments were successful in alleviating his condition.
Anthony's physician suggested that he consider a penile implant to treat his ED, since atherosclerosis requires long-term medical therapy, and the physician felt Anthony will most likely never recover the ability to achieve a natural erection. Anthony has no abdominal scarring or compromised penile tissues, and his physical and mental condition made him a good candidate for surgery
It was important to Anthony that he have a natural looking penile prosthesis. After reviewing all the options, Anthony and his physician decided that the AMS 700 CX, which provides a fully rigid and fully flaccid penis, was the logical choice. Anthony is pleased with the results. It has brought physical intimacy back into his marriage and renewed his self-confidence.
This scenario is based upon a composite of typical patient and physician experiences, and is not reflective of any one individual's medical situation. Individual situations and results may vary.
