What causes the loss of a testicle?
The most common cause is removal for cancer, infection or trauma. Another cause is an undescended testicle which has to be removed for medical reasons.
What is a testicular prosthesis?
Testicular prosthesis is an implantable, sterile device made of medical grade silicone designed to resemble a natural testicle. It improves the appearance of a male who is missing his natural testicle and is indistinguishable from a normal testicle when properly implanted.
Why should I have a testicular prosthesis?
The prosthesis is only implanted for cosmetic reasons. It does not have any functions of a real testicle.
Is the testicle prosthesis comfortable?
Yes, most individuals forget they have an artificial testicle. The Rigicon Testi10™ is filled with saline to give one a natural look and feel. The saline level can be adjusted to improve its feeling through the scrotal wall.
Will anyone viewing me without clothes be able to tell I have an artificial testicle?
No, much like a breast implant in a woman, the look and feel of the device is entirely natural and undetectable unless you tell them you have an artificial testicle.
Can I still father a child after testicular prosthesis implantation?
Yes, for sure unless you lost both your testicles.
Can I still have an MRI with a testicular prosthesis?
Yes, Rigicon testicular prostheses are “MR Conditional.” You can be safely scanned by meeting the conditions described in the manufacturer’s literature.
What are the benefits of Testi10™ compared to other testicular prostheses on the market?
Because the device is filled with saline, its rigidity, size, and shape can be altered after implantation if the patient desires. The high-quality silicone offers a natural design and natural testicle feeling.
