Rigicon Rigi10™ Malleable Penile Prosthesis
The Rigi10™ by Rigicon is a malleable penile implant composed of a pair of bendable rods surgically inserted into the corpora cavernosa of the penis. Once placed, the prosthesis can be manually adjusted upward for sexual activity or downward for concealment under clothing.
User-Friendly Design
- Easier to operate compared to inflatable penile prostheses
- Requires less hand coordination for activation
- Simpler surgical procedure than inflatable models
- Invisible from the outside
The Rigi10™ offers a malleable implant that is straightforward to measure, customize, and insert. For patients, it represents a treatment option, delivering the required rigidity for intercourse, along with everyday comfort and discretion.
Streamlined Implantation
The high bending flexibility of Rigi10™ rods allows the device to be placed via a smaller corporotomy.
Smaller incisions may enable quicker surgical closure, potentially lowering risks of infection, bleeding, swelling, and postoperative pain—while also reducing operating time.
Comprehensive Sizing Options
Important Notice (U.S. Market): While Rigi10™ is available for use in the United States, the 14 mm diameter model is not distributed within the U.S.
To meet diverse anatomical needs, Rigi10™ is produced in six diameters: 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14 mm.
Lengths available:
- 23 cm for 9 and 10 mm rods
- 25 cm for 11–14 mm rods
Since penile dimensions cannot be precisely predicted preoperatively, these varied sizes allow surgeons to adapt intraoperatively for a custom fit.
Soft Distal Tip for Comfort
The distal tip of each rod is coated with a soft-touch finish, enhancing comfort during routine activities.
Internally, the rod features a stainless-steel core reinforced with titanium end caps, delivering strong axial rigidity essential for effective penetration.
Rigi10™ has demonstrated reliable performance even after extensive simulated usage in laboratory settings.
Long-Term Durability
Rigi10™ prostheses are built to last. The rods undergo repeated testing at bending angles, simulating long-term use without mechanical failure.
These results support the device’s structural integrity and clinical durability over time.
SecureFit™ Rear Tip Extenders
Every Rigi10™ set includes SecureFit™ rear tip extenders for added length adjustment.
These extenders connect securely to the rods, offering surgeons confidence in the stability of the extension system.
Flexible Rod Technology™
The proprietary Flexible Rod Technology™ enables smooth bending up to 135 degrees, offering both flexibility and shape memory. This feature minimizes spring-back and promotes a more natural feeling during manipulation, closely simulating the function of an erection.
Discreet and Reliable Concealment
The high flexibility and low spring-back characteristics make the Rigi10™ easy to position and conceal under clothing.
Once implanted, it remains unnoticeable to others unless voluntarily revealed by the patient.
