A penile implant is a surgical device used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in men who no longer respond to oral medications or other conventional treatments. The implant, which comes in two types - semi-rigid and inflatable - replaces the penis's natural ability to become erect. In the case of an inflatable implant, a reservoir is placed in the body, and the penis is filled with saline when desired for intercourse.
