Boston Scientific Penile Implants

A penile implant is designed to be a permanent solution for men suffering from Erectile Dysfunction (ED) and can provide an erection whenever and wherever desired. It is usually implanted into the penis on an outpatient basis and is entirely concealed within the body. The user controls the penile implant, which allows for spontaneity and control.
