AMS 700 Center of Excellence for Penile Implant

We are thrilled to announce that Dr. Natale has been recognized as a penile implant center of excellence for the AMS 700 three-piece inflatable penile prosthesis. Boston Scientific, the device manufacturer, conferred this designation on Dr. Natale, which recognizes not only the volume of penile prostheses that Dr. Natale has implanted but, more importantly, the exceptional outcomes his patients have enjoyed.

Indeed, Dr. Natale is one of the leading penile prosthesis implant specialists in the United States, and this is a testament to his dedication to helping patients overcome what is a life-altering and often psychologically debilitating condition.

What Is a Penile Implant, and When Does It Make Sense?

It’s important to understand what a penile implant is and when it might make sense for erectile dysfunction. When you think about erectile function, your mind probably goes straight to Viagra and Cialis as very effective medical therapies for mild to moderate erectile dysfunction. In time, however, these medications begin to lose their effectiveness and eventually fail to offer the patient an erection sufficient for enjoyable sexual relations.

The consequence is that many men resign themselves to being too old for sex – but this does not have to be the case. Here, penile prostheses become a valuable option for those patients in addition to any patients that have lost erectile function as a result of prostate cancer and subsequent prostatectomy or radiation therapy. For these patients, an inflatable penile prosthesis represents an elegant and discrete solution that allows them to develop a firm and consistent erection on demand.

If you’ve had severe erectile dysfunction and have not been able to enjoy your sex life for quite some time, we encourage you to schedule a consultation with Dr. Natale to learn more about a prosthesis and whether it may be right for you.
