I got to the point where I didn’t even want to golf anymore. I’d go golf with my buddies and I was afraid if I’d swing that club, I’d leak a little bit. I got to the point where I didn’t do any activity that was strenuous.
Penile Prosthesis
Excellent Girth Expansion • Exceptional Rigidity • Natural Appearing Flaccidity
The only penile implant with cylinders designed to expand in length and girth
Prostate cancer and penile straightening procedures may result in loss of penile length. Penile shortening — real or perceived — may be devastating to a man’s self-confidence and may cause significant anxiety. Although penile shortening may occur, the LGX cylinders were designed to expand in length and girth which could provide a patient with the opportunity to regain or maintain penile length.
The inflatable penile prosthesis is available with or without pre-connected cylinders and pump, for either an infra pubic or penoscrotal approach.
Key features include:
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
- A broad range of RTE lengths provides a custom fit for patients (available in 0.5 cm increments, ranging from 0.5-7.5 cm)
MS (Momentary Squeeze) Pump™
- One-touch button designed for easy deflation
- Lock-out valve designed to resist auto inflation
InhibiZone™ Antibiotic Surface 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 infections
- The only inflatable penile prosthesis with clinical evidence showing a significant reduction in the rate of revision due to infection
50% described their erections as satisfactory, and 48% reported excellent erections.
75% of patients reported no change in their orgasm, with 20% reporting better orgasms.

Contraindications: The AMS 700 Series Inflatable Penile Prostheses are contraindicated in the patients that have active urogenital infections or active skin infections in the region of surgery or (for the AMS 700 prosthesis with InhibiZone™ Antibiotic Surface Treatment) have a known sensitivity or allergy to rifampin, minocycline or other tetracyclines, or patients with lupus erythematosus because minocycline has been reported to aggravate this condition.
Warnings: Implantation of the device will make latent natural or spontaneous erections, as well as other interventional treatment options, impossible. Men with diabetes, spinal cord injuries or open sores may have an increased risk of infection associated with the implantation of a prosthesis. Failure to evaluate and promptly treat erosion may result in a substantial worsening of the condition leading to infection and loss of tissue. Implantation may result in penile shortening, curvature, or scarring. Pre-existing abdominal or penile scarring or contracture may make surgical implantation more complicated or impractical. If a hypersensitivity reaction develops to a device coated with InhibiZone, the penile prosthesis should be removed and the patient treated appropriately.
Precautions: Migration of the device components can occur if the cylinders are improperly sized, if the pump or the reservoir is not positioned properly, or if the tubing lengths are incorrect.
Potential Adverse Events: May include device malfunction/failure leading to additional surgery, device migration potentially leading to exposure through the tissue, device/tissue erosion, infection, unintended-inflation of the device and pain/soreness. MH-545408-AA
I think the emotional impact was probably the greatest change in my life. I suddenly did not want to be intimate with my wife. I felt unclean.
Urinary Control System
Find Your Happiness • Restore Your Normalcy • Renew Your Confidence
Fix Your Incontinence
Do not let your Stress Urinary Incontinence stop you from doing the things you love in life. The AMS 800 Urinary Control System is filled with saline and uses the fluid to open and close the cuff surrounding the urethra. When you need to urinate, you squeeze and release the pump once to remove fluid from the cuff. When the cuff is empty, urine can flow out of the bladder. The cuff automatically refills in a few minutes squeezing the urethra closed to restore bladder control.
This system offers customizable treatment options based on the patient’s physical condition, with components tailored to fit their anatomy. System components and accessories include:
- Occlusive Cuff
- Pressure Regulating Balloon
- Control Pump
- Accessory Kit
- Quick Connect Assembly Tool
- Insertion Package
- Deactivation Package
92% would have the AMS 800™ Urinary Control System placed again.2
96% would recommend it to a friend.3
Published clinical studies show that 59%-90% used 0-1 pad per day after the procedure.4

Indications for Use: The AMS 800™ Urinary Control System is used to treat urinary incontinence due to reduced outlet resistance (intrinsic sphincter deficiency) following prostate surgery.
Contraindications: Patients whom the physician determines to be poor surgical candidates, urinary incontinence due to or complicated by an irreversibly obstructed lower urinary tract, have irresolvable detrusor hyperreflexia or bladder instability, or (for the AMS 800 prosthesis with InhibiZone™ Antibiotic Surface Treatment) have a known sensitivity or allergy to rifampin, minocycline or other tetracyclines, or patients with lupus erythematosus because minocycline has been reported to aggravate this condition.
Warnings: Patients with urinary tract infections, diabetes, spinal cord injuries, open sores or regional skin infections may have increased risk of infection associated with a prosthesis. Erosion may be caused by infection, pressure on the tissue, improper cuff sizing, improper balloon selection, tissue damage, and component misplacement. Patients with urge incontinence, overflow incontinence, detrusor hyperreflexia or bladder instability should have these conditions treated and controlled (or resolved) prior to implantation of the device. Surgical, physical, psychological, or mechanical complications, if they occur, may necessitate revision or removal of the prosthesis.
Potential Adverse Events: May include device malfunction/failure leading to additional surgery, device/tissue erosion through urethra/bladder/scrotum, urinary retention, infection, and pain/soreness. MH-545609-AA
When we were no longer intimate, it made me feel like he (Jerry) didn’t love me, and I was no longer attractive to him. I also lost all my self-confidence.

His notable contributions include strategies for infection and biofilm in penile prosthetics and the modeling procedure for Peyronie’s Disease.
Wilson is most recognized for his inventions of new surgical techniques making the complex implantation of penile implants and sphincters minimally invasive. Many of the modern enhancements to the penile implant and special implantation instruments/retractors are the result of Dr. Wilson’s inventions and research. His current practice is limited to prosthetic urology and he continues to travel and teach others his techniques.
Dr. Bargman completed his urology training at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey/ New Jersey Medical School and affiliated hospitals.
Dr. Ilbeigi removed a cancerous part of my kidney using the Robot and I was home in less than 24 hours. I had seen two other urologists and they just wanted to remove my kidney, but Dr. Ilbeigi had the knowledge and expertise to perform this advance surgery. He was very reassuring and took his time before during and after surgery to keep our nerves at ease. I owe him my life.
