Although present-day iterations of the penile prosthesis as characterized by models such as the American Medical Systems (AMS) 700 LGX and Coloplast Titan have made substantial progress towards the ideal penile prosthesis when compared to prostheses designed in the 1970s, significant improvements can still be made.
