Double Handed Inflation Method

I have been getting several email lately from men having difficulty inflating there implant. The AMS Double Handed Method is a great solution and I am posting a copy here. From AMS Enclosed is the standard User’s Guide for your general reference. However, you may prefer to use both hands (left-hand thumb over right-hand thumb on front side of the inflate bulb, with left-hand index finger over right-hand index finger on back side of the bulb) to squeeze the inflate bulb HARD/FAST to “pop” the valve into the inflate position, rather than just using one hand on the inflate bulb. This method will stabilize the inflate bulb between your fingers and provide you with double the squeeze strength. Be sure that after each complete squeeze of the inflate bulb, you relax your fingers and allow the bulb to refill. To give slight, partial squeezes will only increase greatly the number of squeezes you have to give the pump bulb because you’ll be pushing very little fluid into the cylinders with each little squeeze. After the initial very HARD/FAST squeeze of the pump to activate it, each subsequent squeeze of the inflate bulb is done with firmness. Follow the deflate instructions as shown in the AMS 700MS User’s Guide. Best regards, Elizabeth Rae AMS/Worldwide Senior Patient Liaison PH: 800-328-3881, ext. 6261 011609 USER TIP Fully depress the inflation bulb and hold it for 3-4 seconds after it is depressed. Release your grip on it and wait 5-8 seconds while the bulb refills with saline solution from the reservoir. Repeat that process over and over until the desired firmness is achieved. A stinging sensation is noticeable as the corpora cavernosa is stretched tighter and tighter -- a sensation that will disappear over time. Jack Other Tips: When you deflate the implant hold down the release button 4-6 seconds. Then squeeze your penis from the head to the base a few times. This gets most of the saline out and give you a more natural flaccid look, it also help with inflation the next time.
