Testicle implants designed using solid material. These implants may consist of a soft solid elastomer (e.g., silicone) or copolymer or an elastomer shell filled with solid polymers and a tab to secure the implant in a fixed position; they are available in a variety of shapes and sizes. Solid testicular implants are intended to restore normal physical appearance (e.g., for cosmetic reasons) in patients with loss (e.g., trauma, illness) or absence of one or both testicles; they are not intended for functional replacement of the testicles.
