AMS 700 vs Coloplast Titan: Penile Implant Brands and Differences
What are the features and differences of Boston Scientific AMS 700 and Coloplast Titan inflatable penile implants, and which suits whom? An informative comparison.
The two most widely chosen inflatable penile implant brands are Boston Scientific AMS 700™ and Coloplast Titan®. Both are three-piece systems (cylinders + reservoir + pump) that aim to mimic a natural erection. Understanding their differences helps tailor the right choice to each patient.
Boston Scientific AMS 700™
A widely used system noted for rigidity and stability. Its cylinder and pump design aim for ease of use and reliable firmness, and it includes an antibiotic-impregnated surface to reduce infection risk.
Coloplast Titan®
Known for durable cylinder material and its inflate–deflate dynamics. The pump design and cylinder expansion target a balance of natural feel and flexibility, also offered with a protective surface coating.
Key differences
- Cylinder expansion: Titan tends toward girth expansion, AMS 700 toward a length–girth balance.
- Pump design: pump ergonomics differ; assessed by dexterity and ease-of-use preferences.
- Rigidity and feel: both provide high satisfaction; subjective feel varies between individuals.
- Surface technology: both use different coating approaches to reduce infection.
Which brand suits you?
There is no single 'best' brand; the most suitable system is chosen together based on anatomy, expectations, dexterity and clinical assessment. What matters more than brand is the right indication, an experienced surgeon and meticulous technique.
Why does a Center of Excellence credential matter?
Manufacturer Center of Excellence credentials indicate a surgeon meets high-volume, experience and quality criteria for that system — a meaningful signal for both correct brand–patient matching and outcome quality.
