Impotence, also referred to as Erectile Dysfunction (ED), is defined as the inability of a man to achieve and maintain an erection sufficient for intercourse. By not seeking medical help for this problem, millions of men are still causing unnecessary damage to their most important relationships. Fortunately, misperceptions about ED are changing rapidly, and never before has there been such a choice of treatments available.

The Massachusetts Male Aging Study of 1994 and a similar later study, revealed that more than 52% of all men over the age of 40 experience some degree of ED. The percentage of men with this problem increases with age starting with approximately 40% at the age of 40 increasing to approximately 70% at the age of 70. The causes for ED are varied but usually fall within one of the following categories:

Over the years, and particularly in recent years, doctors have used various methods to treat erectile dysfunction. The most common intrusive treatments are:

Medication - in the form of injections, urethral inserts, creams and pills, such as Viagra.

Surgery - typically in the form of penile prostheses implants.

Although successful to varying degrees, these methods are normally quite expensive, and can even present considerable health risks. They can therefore only be prescribed/performed by trained physicians.

A very effective, much safer and affordable, noninvasive method of treatment for erectile dysfunction (ED) is Vacuum Therapy. Vacuum therapy enjoys increasing popularity and is considered by many medical specialists as the first line of treatment for ED due to its positive benefits. And in many cases vacuum therapy is the only treatment available to men who do not want to, or simply cannot, use the medication or employ the even more invasive surgical measures. The appealing benefits of vacuum therapy are:

Safest of all available treatments - in fact, its exceptionally high safety record in the USA resulted in Vacuum Erection Devices (VEDs) being taken off the American Food and Drug Administration (FDA) prescription list in September 1997. Hence, it can now also be purchased without a doctor's prescription.

High Success and Partner Satisfaction rates - including a 90%+ success rate to induce a good erection and an 85% partner satisfaction rate.

Can be used in conjunction with other treatments - where penile tumescence or stiffness is not satisfactory.

Noninvasive Treatment - unlike medication or surgery, vacuum therapy uses only natural reversible processes without any side effects.

Excellent Sexual Confidence Builder - an excellent treatment option for the psychologically impotent man - another common problem - and can be implemented in such a way as to allow the patient to gradually become less and less dependent on it as he gains sexual confidence.

Suitable for almost all men - it can be applied to virtually any patient, regardless of the cause of ED. This includes the typical causes like diabetes and hypertension. However, for men on anticoagulant therapy (such as Warfarin) and men with serious medical conditions like a history of priapism, bleeding disorders, spinal cord tumor, sickle cell anemia, leukemia, penile tumor or some penile injuries, it is recommended that a doctor be consulted first.

Affordable - with a relatively low one-time cost, it is much more affordable than any other treatment.

Conventional Vacuum Erection Devices (VEDs) - While quite effective, many couples still found these devices to be too bulky and cumbersome to use and therefore sexually unappealing. These aspects consequently proved to be significant drawbacks to the advancement of vacuum therapy. The VACURECT™ now for the first time enables couples to enjoy the many benefits of vacuum therapy without the above associated drawbacks. OR Typical Conventional Vacuum Erection Devices   VACURECT™

The internationally patented VACURECT™ is now setting a new standard in vacuum therapy. It has a compact, pleasing design and is very easy to use. Its natural pumping action will not detract unduly from the intimacy of the moment. The VACURECT™ also uses a unique double-sealing tension ring that ensures maximum efficiency, which means that it works much faster, resulting in minimal interference with foreplay and intimacy. Most importantly, the VACURECT™ enables couples to enjoy lovemaking again.

Specific benefits of the VACURECT™ over conventional vacuum devices:

• Most appealing appearance and pumping action - to ensure the least possible distraction during intimate moments.
  
  
• Lightest and most compact - which means that both hands are free after pumping so that the man can freely move about with the pump still in place, resulting in the absolute minimal interference with foreplay and intimacy.
  
  
• Easiest fitting of the tension ring onto the pump - no special device or technique is required. After cleaning the ring may in fact be left on the pump ready for immediate future use.
  

• Easiest fitting of the tension ring onto the penis - the ring is simply slid onto the penis with no air leakage at any stage.
  
  
• Most efficient - there is no air leakage at any stage, resulting in the quickest possible response time of between 30 seconds and 6 minutes depending on the starting state of the erection.
  
  
• Widest range of 10 tension rings - to ensure the best possible results.
  
  
• Lowest use of artificial lubrication - The VACURECT™ only requires a relatively small amount of lubrication at the mouth of the tension ring.
