New penile implant aims to restore function for men with ED
NCT ID NCT05574868
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Aug 14, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study is testing a new inflatable penile implant called the Rigicon Infla10 for men with erectile dysfunction. Researchers will implant the device in 182 men and follow them for up to 3 years to see if it is safe and works well. The main goal is to check if the implant helps men achieve a firm enough erection and does not cause serious side effects.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Rigicon Infla10 Three-Piece Inflatable Penile Prosthesis (a medical device implanted in the penis to help achieve an erection)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a long-term, reliable treatment option for men with erectile dysfunction who have not responded to other therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is a single-arm study with no comparison group, so results may be less definitive. Risks include infection, device malfunction, or need for revision surgery.
