AMS 700 LGX is the gold standard when it comes to penile implants. It is manufactured by Boston Scientific and one of the most successful and highly advanced penile implants available anywhere in the world.
AMS 700 is a three piece penile implant, which means it makes use of 3 components to function. These interconnected components are two cylinders, a pump and a reservoir. The cylinders are used in pairs ( just like silicone rods in semi rigid implants) and are placed in the corpus cavernosa. The pump is placed in the scrotum and is connected with the reservoir which is surgically placed in the abdominal cavity. As soon as the patient presses the pump, the fluid from the reservoir rushes to the cylinders. This causes the cylinders to expand or inflate, and gives the penis a stiff erection. The patient can now have uninterrupted sexual intercourse of desired duration. When the sexual activity is over and the erection is no longer required, the patient can press the deflate button on the pump placed in the scrotum. This causes the fluid from the penis to move back to the reservoir and hence returning back to the flaccid state.

The AMS 700 implants provides the following benefits:
Natural Behavior - The inflation and deflation of the AMS 700 cylinders, provide the closest experience of natural penis erection with the help of an external device. It can be said that it’s hard to find out that a person is using an AMS 700™ penile implant if not explicitly informed.
Excellent Concealment - The inflatable penile implants, especially AMS 700 allows the penile implant or the penis to return to a flaccid state after intercourse, just like a natural flaccid penis. On the other hand, most of the semi rigid penile implants maintain some stiffness while not being used for sexual intercouse, hence providing an unpleasant concealment.
Ease of use - The AMS 700 penile implant is a fairly easy device to operate. The device needs gentle press of a pump for inflating the cylinders in the penis, and a gentle push of the deflate button on the pump to deflate the cylinders. Once accustomed, the device can be operated like a breeze.
Global Warranty - The AMS 700 penile implant comes with an international warranty, irrespective of which country you got the implant done in. In other words it means that If you get the AMS 700 penile implant surgery done in India, and fly back to your home country, the implant is still under warranty.
Less Infection rates - The AMS 700 comes with an optional InhibiZone™ Antibiotic Surface Treatment, which prevents bacterial infections associated with penile implants.
Costs - The AMS 700 is one of the most advanced and successful penile implants available in the world and is considered to be a gold standard for permanent treatment of erectile dysfunction. The cost of the AMS 700 penile implant surgery depends on the experience of the penile surgeon as well as the hospital. AMS 700 lgx cost ranges from 13000 USD to 16000 USD.
The surgery is done by making a very small incision in the scrotum or just above the pubic bone, through which all the components of the implant are inserted and put in place. The surgery lasts for around 1 hour to 90 minutes and is performed under anaesthesia. The patient is required to stay at the hospital for 2 days, and stay in nearby the hotel for 2 more days for follow-up & avoid AMS 700 penile implant problems. There can be some pain and soreness at the surgical site, but that will be healed soon. In 3-4 days the patient is fit to carry on with day to day activities with precaution. The patient can engage in normal sexual activity in around 4 to 6 week’s time.
The surgeon has two choice while implanting the AMS 700 LGX implant :-
Pentecostal approach - A small incision is made in the scrotum, and the pre connected components of the implants are inserted and put in place.Implant placed with preconnected cylinders and pump. The chances of damage to the dorsal nerves is quite less with this approach, and hence ensuring no sensory loss.
Infrapubic approach - A small infrapubic incision is made just above the pubic bone. This approach allows the surgeon to implant the reservoir quickly and under direct supervision through the same incision. Thus an extra incision in the scrotum can be avoided by the Infrapubic approach and hence it is more minimally invasive. With this approach the cylinders and pump are not pre connected and connected later on.
While both of the above techniques are safe and successful, it really depends on the approach the surgeon is more comfortable with. As a matter of fact most of the surgeons prefer the Penoscrotal approach for perfect placement of the implant.

The SHAH penile implant is undoubtedly a great and budget friendly penile implant, but a few factors decide if it is the best implant for you. The choice of implant depends on a lot of factors like :-
Budget of the patient - The AMS 700 LGX penile prosthesis is one of the most advanced and successful penile implants available in the world. So, the cost is a bit on the higher side. So if budget is not a concern for you, AMS 700 LGX is the gold standard in penile prosthesis. But if you are a bit limited by budget, you can consider opting for an AMS Ambicor 2 piece inflatable penile implant or Semi Rigid penile implants.
Concealment of the Implant - The AMS 700 LGX inflatable penile implant can be more easily concealed as compared to the semi rigid penile implants. So if concealment is a major concern for you, AMS 700 LGX is an excellent implant for you.
Ease of use - The AMS 700 LGX is very easy to operate and use. A gentle push of a pump erects the penis, and a slight bend of the penis shaft returns the erected penis to a flaccid state.
Warranty & Life - The AMS 700 LGX penile implant comes with an international warranty for mechanical failure of the components. The device is a high quality one and generally works fine for years. If the device stops working because of a mechanical issue, the company replaces the implant. So if you want to safeguard your investment, AMS 700 is the best implant for you.
Natural Behaviour - If your goal is to have a sexual intercouse which is as close to natural as possible, then AMS 700 LGX implants is better poised. The inflatable implants inflate and deflate the penis with fluid, just like it happens in a person with no erectile dysfunction and hence the gold standard for ED cure.
None of the penile implants are covered by Insurance in India, just like cosmetic surgeries. However, you can still check with your Insurer if they assist with penile implants.
