About the Coloplast Genesis

The Coloplast Genesis is a malleable (semi-rigid) penile implant — not an inflatable one. It is made of two bendable rods that stay permanently firm and are simply positioned by hand: bent up for sex, and down the rest of the time.

How it works

There is no pump and no fluid. Inside each rod is a silver-core wire that lets the penis hold whatever position it is bent into. That simplicity is the whole point of a malleable device.

What makes it distinctive

It is the simplest implant both to place and to use, which makes it a strong choice for men with limited hand strength or dexterity. With no moving parts, there is nothing mechanical to fail. It carries the same hydrophilic antibiotic-absorbing coating as the Coloplast Titan.

Things to weigh

The penis stays firm at all times, which can be harder to conceal under clothing, and the result feels less natural than an inflatable implant. For many men that trade-off is worth the simplicity and reliability.

Reliability
With no pump or fluid, malleable implants have no mechanical failure mode; the main long-term risks are infection and, rarely, erosion.

Common questions

How is a malleable implant used?
You bend the penis up for sex and down at other times. It stays firm all the time because there is no pump — the rods simply hold whatever position you place them in.
Can a malleable implant fail mechanically?
There is no pump or fluid, so there is nothing mechanical to fail. The main long-term risks are infection and, rarely, the device eroding through tissue.
Who is a malleable implant best for?
Men who want the simplest option, who have limited hand strength or dexterity, or for whom cost is the main concern. The trade-off is that it stays firm at all times.
