CAMC has been designated as the first Center of Excellence in WV for the AMS 700 Inflatable Penile Prosthesis - a long-term treatment option for patients with erectile dysfunction (ED). This designation by Boston Scientific recognizes the CAMC team, and specifically Josh Lohri, DO, for his expertise with the AMS 700 prosthesis and his dedication to changing the lives of patients suffering from erectile dysfunction.
ED is a common condition that is estimated to affect more than half of men between 40 and 70 years old to some degree. ED can be brought on by various physical or psychological causes, which results in the inability to get and keep an erection firm enough for sex. This can limit intimacy, affect self-esteem and impact relationships. The AMS 700, manufactured by Boston Scientific, is designed to deliver a natural look and feel and can help patients resume sexual intimacy with their partners.
The Center of Excellence designation recognizes achievement of program requirements, including experience with implanting the AMS700 and a commitment to continuously educating patients and the community about ED and available treatment options.
"Being designated as an AMS 700 Center of Excellence is an important recognition for CAMC and further supports our efforts to deliver treatment options for ED patients in southern West Virginia," Dr. Lohri said.
