Rear tip extender
Cylindrical silicone piece, available in several lengths, that friction-fits onto the rear end of a prosthesis cylinder.
How it is used
Adjusts the final length of penile prosthesis cylinders to each patient's anatomy.
Clinical tip
Because it attaches only by friction, it must be pulled carefully during revision surgery so it does not detach inside the corpus cavernosum.
