Summary
Older men preferred the Coloplast Titan for inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) inflation and the AMS 700 for deflation. Preference for IPP inflation did not predict deflation preference, but was linked to certain medical conditions.
Area of Science:
- Urology
- Medical Devices
- Patient Satisfaction
Background:
- Patient satisfaction with inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) can be enhanced by preoperative evaluation.
- Understanding user preference for different IPP models is crucial for improving outcomes.
Purpose of the Study:
- To prospectively analyze the device preference of IPP-naïve men aged 60 and older.
- To identify factors influencing preference for specific inflatable penile prosthesis models.
Main Methods:
- 125 IPP-naïve men (≥60 years) prospectively evaluated three IPP models.
- Participants ranked models for inflation and deflation in a double-blinded manner.
- Demographics, medical history, and pinch strength were collected; statistical analyses included ANOVA and regression.
Main Results:
- Coloplast Titan was preferred for inflation (44%), AMS 700 for deflation (40%).
- Preference for Coloplast Titan inflation was associated with higher odds of coronary artery disease and osteoarthritis.
- No association found between age, pinch strength, and model preference.
Conclusions:
- IPP-naïve men over 60 favor Coloplast Titan for inflation and AMS 700 for deflation.
- Preference for inflation did not correlate with deflation preference, suggesting distinct user experiences.
- Further research is needed to validate these findings and inform clinical practice.
