TORONTO -- Dr. Kevin Kovach, a research professor at Canada’s Hudson Institute of Penileology, announced that his team of researchers has developed a wireless penile implant that will be available soon for men suffering from erectile dysfunction.
The Kovach I-Implant will revolutionize penile implant surgery. Currently there are three main types of penile implants:
Three-piece inflatable pump
The three-piece inflatable pump involves placing two cylinders in the penis, an inflatable pump in the scrotum, and a fluid-filled container in the abdomen. All of these components are connected by special tubing. Squeezing the pump in the scrotum causes fluid to moves from the container into the cylinders, creating an erection. When the release valve is squeezed, fluid moves out of the cylinder and back into the container, making the penis flaccid. When inflated, a three-piece inflatable pump implant acts and feels like a natural erection. The implant also feels natural and comfortable when flaccid.
Two-piece inflatable
This type of implant is similar to the three-piece inflatable device and works in the same way. However, instead of a separate fluid-filled container, the fluid is kept within the pump in the scrotum. However, the two-piece inflatable device is not as rigid as the three-piece implant.
Semi-rigid or malleable rods
This type of penile implant involves a surgeon implanting two flexible rods into the penis. The implants never change in size or stiffness and maintain a semi-rigid state. They can, however, be set in different positions easily. The implants are usually bent downward but can be straightened into an upward position when needed for sexual intercourse.
The cost of these implants ranges from $9,400 to $23,000 and is covered by many insurance plans.
The I-Implant will replace the three types of implants currently in use. It is a flexible rod-like device that contains a rechargeable lithium ion battery. It operates from a small remote control.
The length and girth of the implant can be adjusted by pressing the designated buttons on the remote control. No more annoying pumps, no more one size fits all.
The implant battery is recharged simply by placing the special battery recharger on the penis for about one hour. Dr. Kovach avoided the possibility of a penis exploding by making sure the lithium ion batteries were not made in China. The I-Implant batteries his team used were all made in Canada.
The I-Implant is expected to cost around $25,000 for the device, the surgery and the use of hospital facilities. Hospital stay is not expected to exceed two days.
Dr. Kovach’s team has been developing the I-Implant for the past seven years. After two years of successful trials on chimpanzees that could not otherwise get an erection, Dr. Kovach is ready to start trials on men.

In order to get a large pool of I-Implant trial volunteers to choose from, Dr. Kovach urges that all persons who read this article pass it on to all those on their mailing list.

The bionic penis with a remote control. Plug the penis into a battery charger for about an hour? What if it needs a jump start? What if you lose the remote in the couch cushions? Sounds like a lot could go wrong.
Honey! Stop! That's not the TV remote!
