Erectile dysfunction continues to be a problem that can be successfully treated either through medical or surgical management. A cohort of self-identified experts in teaching the operation of penile implants completed a series of questions and tasks associated with three implant pump designs. This study examines the responses and impressions of these expert teachers in regard to three penile prosthesis pump designs. The goal of this project was to establish if one prosthesis pump was superior in the user’s ability to correctly identify components in a blinded, scrotal simulation study.
