Finney flexirod prosthesis

Urology. 1984 May;23(5 Spec No):79-82. doi: 10.1016/0090-4295(84)90247-4.

Abstract

The experience gained from the implantation of 763 Flexirod Prosthesis is described. Special features of this design include a tapered distal tip which provides for better glans stability, a soft hinge which allows for improved penile concealment, and a trimmable tail which, together with preoperative measurement of the penis, allows the surgeon to determine the correct prothesis size well in advance of surgery. The surgical procedure is not difficult, the complication rate is low, device failure is extremely rare, and most patients are restored to a satisfactory sex life.
