The Mentor inflatable penile prosthesis was designed to decrease the incidence of mechanical failures associated with the Scott inflatable penile prosthesis. The penile cylinders of the Mentor prosthesis are manufactured from Bioflex polyurethane, a new polymer which is more durable and less elastic than silicone. The Mentor prosthesis also has a connector system which employs plastic clamps rather than suture ties to fix tubings to connectors. The new prosthesis has been implanted in 30 patients with organic impotency. These patients have been followed for an average of 7.7 (5-12) months. All patients achieved a satisfactory cosmetic and functional result from the procedure.
Mentor可膨胀阴茎假体的设计目的是降低与Scott可膨胀阴茎假体相关的机械故障发生率。Mentor假体的阴茎圆柱体由Bioflex聚氨酯制成，这是一种新型聚合物，比硅胶更耐用且弹性更小。Mentor假体还具有一个连接系统，该系统采用塑料夹而非缝合线来将管道固定到连接器上。这种新型假体已植入30例器质性阳痿患者体内。这些患者平均随访了7.7（5 - 12）个月。所有患者术后均获得了满意的外观和功能效果。
