Thanks for this. Not sure why any good dr implanting a titan would use more than 1 rte. Unless like others mention they do not have an inventory or someone would need more for pump placement and tubes.

No reason for more than an occasional single RTE.

I the image below not that the more RTE's that are used the less inflatable implant is used.

The more inflatable implant that is inside of the body, the more stable the implants is.

The only reason I can imagine is that the patient was initially undersized when the implant was first inserted.   I know of only one, maybe two docs, who would then swap it out during the procedure for a larger size as they'd have to eat the cost of the second implant (about $800).  Thus, the only option to maximize size is then to add RTE's.  I'd rather have the extra RTE's than not in that case.
