ZSI 100 FTM Malleable Penile Implant
The
ZSI 100 FTM is the first-ever penile implant designed
specifically for trans men!
Made by Zephyr Surgical Implants of Switzerland, the ZSI 100 FTM Malleable Penile Implant is designed to provide excellent stability and cosmetic results.
The ZSI 100 FTM is made of NUSIL silicone which is manufactured at a density that is ideal for longterm durability, malleability and providing a lifelike erection.
The implant is adjustable at the distal end from 16cm to 13cm. A 25mm wide, realistically shaped glans "stopper" is affixed to the tip of the implant. The cylinder is 22mm wide and designed for comfort and appearance. The ZSI 100 FTM's proximal part is made of silicone and stainless steel and is fixed to the pubic bone.
Important note: Zephyr penile implants are not available in the USA and ZSI is not currently seeking FDA approval. At this time, they are available in Canada, Cuba and some countries in Europe and South America.
The implant functions like other semi-rigid implants to obtain an erection: manually straighten and lift the penis to an erect position. Return to the bent position for a flacid penis.
Zephyr also have a hydraulic penile implant for trans men, the ZSI 475 FTM Hydraulic Penile Implant.
Pigot GL, et al. The Journal of Sexual Medicine, January 2020.
This is the first study on the ZSI Malleable Penile Implant prostheses. 25 patients were retrospectively identified, with a mean age of 36 ± 9 years at implantation. With a mean follow-up of 6.3 months, prosthesis explantation because of complications was performed in 8 patients (32%), because of infection (n = 3), protrusion (n = 4), or pubic pain (n = 1). In an additional 3 patients, the prosthesis was explanted due to difficulty living with the malleable prosthesis. Of those with the prosthesis in place, 13 of 14 patients (93%) were able to engage in penetrative sexual intercourse.
