Reclaim confidence
Designed for ease of use, the Genesis implant puts spontaneity and self-confidence1 back in your hands.
Simple control
The Genesis malleable penile implant gives you the ability to have an erection instantly, at any time, for however long you and your partner want.
It consists of two firm but flexible rods that are placed into the shaft of the penis. There are no other parts to this implant.
To have an erection, you simply hold the penis and move it into the desired position. When you are finished, you return the penis to its tucked down position to conceal it.
Attributes:
- Completely hidden inside the body
- Easy for you or your partner to use
- Good option for men with limited dexterity2
- Because it stays firm when not erect, may be more difficult to conceal in clothing3

Important safety information
Genesis® Malleable Penile Prosthesis Important Safety Information
Genesis Malleable Penile Prosthesis is a surgically implanted penile implant intended for the management of erectile dysfunction (impotence) in men. The implant has two firm yet flexible silicone rods implanted in the penis to produce an erection for sexual intercourse. The device is manually positioned to simulate an erect or flaccid penis.
Indications
The implant is designed for the management of erectile dysfunction (impotence) stemming from a variety of causes, including: epispadias (a rare birth defect located at the opening of the urethra), pelvic fracture; spinal cord injury or disease; prostatectomy; cystectomy (surgical removal of the bladder); abdominal-perineal resection (surgical removal of the anus, rectum, and sigmoid colon); multiple sclerosis; diabetes mellitus; alcoholism; arteriosclerosis and hypertensive vascular disease; priapism (prolonged and painful erection of the penis); and Peyronie’s disease (curvature of the penis). The implant may also be used in selected patients with psychogenic impotence.
Contraindications
Implantation procedures are not advisable if infection is present anywhere in the body, especially urinary tract or genital infection. The implant should not be used in patients who have unresolved problems such as elevated residual urine from bladder outlet obstruction, or neurogenic bladder. The implant should be used with caution in diabetic patients who are more susceptible to infection and the complications of infection than nondiabetic patients. Other contraindications include unresolved urinary problems, any condition which may hamper sexual activity (such as severe angina), a history of sensitivity to foreign materials, compromised wound healing, compromised immune system, any anatomic or physiologic abnormality that could lead to significant postoperative complications, an unwillingness to undergo any further surgery for revision and psychological instability of the patient.
Warnings
Your doctor will advise you of all potential risks and complications associated with the proposed surgical procedure and device, including providing a comparison of the risks and complications of alternative procedures and implants. As a mechanical device, the implant can malfunction, wear out or be subject to misuse and may require replacement. Penile implants should not be considered lifetime implants. The implant should be used with caution in patients with borderline bladder decompensation or enlarged prostate. Patients, including paraplegics, should be free of indwelling catheters prior to implantation.
Precautions
Your doctor may conduct a thorough diagnostic evaluation, including psychiatric/sexual counseling. Your partner is encouraged to join the consultation.
Potential Complications
Complications may include, but are not limited to, the following: foreign body response; erosion; perforation; extrusion; infection; loss of tissue (necrosis); device malfunction (e.g., loss of rigidity, twisting, fracture, separation); impaired blood flow to penis; swelling (lymphedema) of the penis; hematoma; scarring; pain; incorrect implant position; deformity at the head of the penis; incorrect sizing; inability to pull the foreskin back from the tip of an uncircumcised penis (paraphimosis); voiding difficulty; decreased sensation and inflammation/irritation.
The implant may differ from original erection (e.g. not of equal length or girth) compared to what was previously experienced with natural erections.
This treatment is prescribed by your physician. Discuss the treatment options with your physician to understand the risks and benefits of the various options to determine if a malleable penile implant is right for you.
Caution: Federal law (USA) restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.
