Infection Retardant Coated vs. Non-Coated Penile Implants
How well did they fare? A paper by Drs. M. Zanoni and Steve Wilson et al.
During revision surgery for clinically non-infected implants, cultures were positive for 70% of non-coated, and 60% of coated. Thus the authors concluded that culture positive implants as a simple test (unrelated to why revision surgery was being performed) obtained at the time of revision surgery occurred in the majority of non-coated as well as coated implants
