This study evaluates the long-term safety and effectiveness of the Rigicon Infla10® Inflatable Penile Prosthesis in patients with erectile dysfunction. The study follows patients implanted with the Rigicon Infla10® Pulse™ Dynamic Inflatable Penile Prosthesis for up to 3 years after implantation.

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a common male sexual dysfunction associated with a reduced quality of life for patients and their partners. Incidence of ED increases with age and is associated with depression, obesity, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, cardiovascular disease and benign prostatic hyperplasia. ED is diagnosed with symptoms of (1) inability to attain or sustain a penile erection during sexual activity and (2) a reduction of penile rigidity in >75% of sexual encounters during six months period. ED is estimated to affect approximately 52% of men in age of 40 to 70 years. It is projected in 2025, the worldwide ED prevalence of about 322 million. ED usually has organic causes, such as damage of arteries, smooth muscle and fibrous tissue. This results in impairment of blood flow to and from penis due to diabetes, renal disease, atherosclerosis and vascular disease.

Management of ED involves lifestyle modification, medical, surgical interventions, and possibly, in the future, tissue- engineering or cellular or gene therapy. Oral phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor (PDE5i), which works with sexual stimulation, is an effective medical therapy for ED with an excellent safety profile. Intracavernosal injection or topical application of vasoactive drugs have also been studied. The first inflatable penile prosthesis was introduced in 1973, and current models of inflatable penile prostheses include the AMS 700 series, Coloplast Titan device and Zephyr ZSI device. A patient-activated inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) provides patients with a means to achieve dependable spontaneity for intercourse.

Rigicon has developed a three-piece inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) (Infla10®) for the treatment of ED. This study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of the Rigicon IPP in treating ED. Clinical literature and preclinical testing, including biocompatibility, device validation and verification, and animal studies support the safety and efficacy of this device for the intended therapy.

Inclusion Criteria:

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Contraindication to general anesthesia.
2. Known allergy or sensitivity to product materials as indicated in the device labeling.
3. Previous penile prosthesis or prior enlargement surgeries
4. Diagnosed penile sensory neuropathy.
5. Patients who are receiving immunosuppressive drugs or have a history of kidney transplantation.
6. Patients who are receiving chemotherapy at the time of enrolment.
7. Diagnosed with fibrotic disease, such as priapism or Peyronie's disease or Chordee.

9. Uncontrolled diabetes (HbA1c ≥ 9.0% [≈75 mmol/mol], measured within 90 days prior to surgery.
10. Bleeding disorder or coagulopathy that may in the judgment of the investigator preclude safe procedure.

12. Clinically significant comorbidities or presence of unstable conditions (e.g. cardiovascular, lung, renal [serum creatinine > 2.0 mg/dl], hepatic, bleeding disorders, or metabolic impairment) that may confound the results of the study or in the judgment of the physician investigator preclude safe procedure.
13. Lacking manual dexterity or mental abilities necessary to operate the device.

20. Incarcerated subjects
21. Subjects who are currently using, or who have not previously attempted and failed, standard non-surgical ED therapies including oral or topical treatments.
