New Study Demonstrates Remarkable Safety and Durability for Rigicon’s Rigi10™ Malleable Penile Prosthesis

Leave a comment


A recent clinical study on the Rigi10™ Malleable Penile Prosthesis highlights positive safety outcomes and durability. With a revision rate of less than 1%, the study reaffirms the reliability of Rigi10™ Malleable Penile Prosthesis in treating erectile dysfunction. Patients implanted with Rigi10™ report minimal complications, making it a valuable option for those seeking treatment for erectile dysfunction.

RONKONKOMA, N.Y., Oct. 27, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Ronkonkoma, Rigicon is pleased to present the findings of a comprehensive clinical study titled “Safety Outcomes of the First Rigi10™ Malleable Penile Prostheses Implanted Worldwide.” This study sheds light on the favorable safety and durability of the Rigi10™ Malleable Penile Prosthesis, providing an encouraging option for individuals facing erectile dysfunction.

The study analyzed data from 605 first-time patients who underwent Rigi10™ implantation by 46 skilled urologists across 16 countries, with an average follow-up period of 21.6 months.

Key Findings:

Revision was required in only 0.99% of patients. Additionally, device infections were observed in only one (0.16%) patient. After revision, the Kaplan–Meier statistical analysis demonstrated an admirable three-year implant survival rate of 99.2%.

Compared to its competitors, notable features of Rigi10™ include the supple bending capacity of its rods, simplifying implantation through a smaller corporotomy, and the availability of extra widths of rods that facilitate precise penile girth attainment. Support for this is evident in the study, which indicates that the 12 mm cylinder size, not offered by competitive devices, was the second most used cylinder width.

The Rigi10™ Malleable Penile Prosthesis has displayed favorable safety outcomes and durability in this study. With a revision rate of less than 1%, it stands as a reliable option for individuals seeking treatment for erectile dysfunction. Rigicon remains dedicated to excellence and innovation in the field of prosthetic urology, ensuring an improved quality of life for patients worldwide.

Dr. Steven K. Wilson, a distinguished urologist and contributor to the study, emphasizes the significance of these findings, affirming, “The Rigi10™ Malleable Penile Prosthesis exemplifies reliability in prosthetic urology. The data underscores the company’s commitment to delivering dependable solutions that genuinely enhance the quality of life for patients.”

For further details, please refer to the full study at www.nature.com/articles/s41443-023-00761-x.

About Rigicon: Rigicon is a renowned research, development, and manufacturing company specializing in innovative prosthetic urology solutions.

SafetyStratus Launches Map View, Helping Safety Professionals Locate Assets and Enhance Investigations

Leave a comment


Adding to SafetyStratus’ intuitive interface, the Map View functionality makes it even easier for users to locate safety assets (e.g., AEDs, fire extinguishers, fire blankets, fume hoods, eye wash stations, etc.) and view them alongside a database of essential information (e.g., asset name, department name, room name, model number, expiration date, etc.). Commenting on how this upgrade came about, SafetyStratus’ Director of Product, Greg Kwolek, stated, “We aim to make safety more accessible. This feature empowers collaboration within teams and across organizations, visually connecting people to vital information.”

As an important visual aid, the Asset Map View helps user communities with the following functionality:

  1. Shows assets within specified boundaries (facility, campus, etc.). 
  2. Displays the locations of a default asset type in a map view with pin indicators. 
  3. Allows users to pinpoint their current location on a map and view nearby assets. 
  4. Will direct users from their current location to that designated item’s location. 
  5. Offers a panel view for tablets, where users can see a list of all the available types of assets to choose from, side-by-side with the map. 
  6. Gives mobile users the ability to toggle between the map view and the asset view to read more details (whether it has a pending inspection, the last inspection date, the due date for the next inspection, etc.) about the selected asset types. 
  7. Has search functionality, allowing users to quickly move through the data or sort out all the assets that have pending inspections. 
  8. Enables users to start an inspection at the click of a button if a pending inspection has been initiated for that asset. 
    These capabilities make it easier for user communities to discern if there is a concentration of available asset types, pending inspections, gaps in inspections, and the history of that asset. This solution adds speed and simplicity to the processes of starting inspections and delivering that data to the people who need it.

British Swim School Expands to Serve More Ohio Residents

Leave a comment


Shelly was attracted to British Swim School because its main goal is to prevent drownings. “By offering people of all ages the chance to learn the essential skill of swimming, I am helping to save lives. There’s no better feeling than that.”

For more than 40 years, British Swim School has been dedicated to teaching water survival by giving infants, children, and adults of all ages the skills needed for water acclimation, water survival, and stroke development. Its mission — ensure that every person, regardless of age or ability, has the opportunity to become a safe and happy swimmer.

Across the nation, eleven people die every day from unintentional drownings, with nearly 4,000 deaths occurring each year. Research shows that participation in formal swim programs, such as those offered by British Swim School, can reduce the risk of drowning by 88% among children who are most at risk for deaths caused by drowning. However, the risk of drowning isn’t limited to children: a Red Cross survey found that more than half of all Americans (54%) either can’t swim or don’t have the basic swimming skills needed to save themselves in the event of a water emergency.

Ashley Gundlach, President of British Swim School, expressed her enthusiasm about the new locations. “Shelly’s commitment to health and wellness combined with her passion for helping others align perfectly with our mission. We are confident she’ll make a significant impact throughout the Columbus area.”
