Abstract
-
The Mentor inflatable penile prosthesis was designed to decrease the incidence of mechanical failures associated with the Scott inflatable penile prosthesis. The penile cylinders of the Mentor prosthesis are manufactured from Bioflex polyurethane, which is more resistant to abrasion and relatively in elastic than silicone. the material of the Scott prosthesis. The Mentor prosthesis also has a connector system which employs plastic snap-lock ring clamps rather than suture ties to fix tubings to connector. We experienced a case of Mentor inflatable penile prosthesis for vasculogenic erectile impotence in a42 year old male.
