Vacuum Erection Device for the Treatment of ED
A plastic cylinder is placed over the penis, and a pump (either manual or battery operated) creates vacuum suction within the cylinder,
drawing blood into the penis to create an erection. A stretchable tension band placed at the base of the penis can help maintain the erection.
