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.”

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.”

MATTHEWS, N.C., Oct. 27, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Harris Teeter will host a drug take-back event at four of its Charlotte locations from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 28, 2023 , as part of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration’s National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day. These events will provide a safe, convenient and anonymous way for local residents to dispose of unused or expired medications.

“We are thrilled to convene great minds from this thriving community to accelerate the discovery and the development of innovative medicines to cure patients,” said Dr. Zhen Su, Committee Chair. “The past 10 years have ushered in so much progress through shared learning. We now have the opportunity to establish a new standard of collaboration that eliminates conventional barriers to progress and creates a clear path for patient impact, enabling our goal of another 100 IO approvals over the next 10 years.”
The biotech scientific session will feature promising, next-wave IO approaches and novel clinical trial results that have the potential to advance the field. The session will highlight a range of diverse modalities, including CAR-T cells and T cell engagers for solid tumors, mRNA-based cancer vaccines, bi-specific molecules, next generation immune checkpoint inhibitors, and oncolytic immunotherapies.
“Recent advances in biotechnology and translational science have aligned with our deep understanding of cancer immunobiology to enable us to realize the true potential of IO in treating, intercepting, and preventing cancer,” said Dr. Leisha Emens, SITC President. “SITC provides the ideal forum to foster a diverse community of leaders across the IO landscape that shares the goal of disruptive innovation in IO. SITC aims to nurture an ecosystem that will catalyze therapeutic innovation, collaboratively incubating and developing ideas that enable the implementation of both effective cancer immunotherapies and cancer immunoprevention strategies for patients, leading to our goal of a cancer-free world.”
Over 400 hundred public or private biotech companies in the US are focused on IO or have platforms with specific indications for cancer immunotherapies. In addition, well over 10,000 scientific professionals, investors, and other key stakeholders are committed to measurable progress in IO. SITC believes that harnessing the collective intellectual power and commitment of diverse leaders in the biotech ecosystem will yield exponential results in creating new medicines for people confronting cancer.
The SITC Board of Director’s vision for the Biotech Initiative extends well beyond bringing key stakeholders together. SITC is also defining a framework for the future of drug development through mentorship, education, and relationship-building to bring innovative life-saving, FDA-approved IO medicines to people facing the prospect of cancer.
