The Tactra Penile Implant consists of a pair of bendable cylinders that are made of two layers of silicone over a Nitinol (nickel titanium) core. The design of the Tactra Implant provides both natural feel and optimal rigidity and durability.
When intercourse is desired, you lift up the device into a straight position for an erection. When you and your partner are done with sex, you manually push down your penis for a normal, flaccid appearance.
The urologist makes a small incision above the pubic bone or in the scrotum to insert the device components. The penile implant surgery is performed under anesthesia.
Recovery is typically straightforward, however each patient's experience can vary. You may experience some pain and tenderness near the incision. You should follow your doctor’s orders regarding post-implant procedure activity. Most physicians will instruct their patients to limit their routine to light activity for the first few days and refrain from lifting or exertion for the next month. Full healing may take 4-6 weeks, after which your doctor may clear you for sex.
