The AMS Tactra penile implant is a trusted malleable (semi-rigid) implant designed for men seeking a simple, durable, and easy-to-use solution for erectile dysfunction. Manufactured by Boston Scientific, it is one of the most widely used malleable implants worldwide due to its excellent performance, long-term durability, and ease of positioning.
Bangkok has become a top location for Tactra implant surgery thanks to experienced ED-focused urologists, high medical standards, and pricing significantly lower than in Western countries.
This guide explains how the AMS Tactra functions, who it’s suitable for, and what men can expect from the procedure and recovery process.
What Is the AMS Tactra Penile Implant?
The AMS Spectra is a bendable, semi-rigid penile prosthesis consisting of two flexible rods placed inside the penis. It provides consistent rigidity for sexual intercourse and allows the penis to be manually positioned upwards or downwards.
Key design features:
Bendable alloy core
Flexible silicone exterior
Always firm enough for penetration
Discreet when bent downward
No pump or fluid reservoir required
Because tactra does not rely on mechanical parts, it is extremely durable with a very low failure rate.

tactra is ideal for men who:
Have severe erectile dysfunction unresponsive to medication
Want a simple, no-maintenance implant

Prefer a cost-effective alternative to inflatable implants

It is also recommended for men:
