How do Vacuum Erection Devices work?
What is Female Stimulation Exercise?
What is ACTIS? How do Vacuum Erection Devices work? An
erection is caused by an increase in blood flow to the penis when a
man is sexually aroused. Vacuum therapy duplicates this process.
The erecaid creates an erection by
placing the penis in a vacuum cylinder and applying a gentle
negative pressure vacuum with a manual or battery operated pump. The
negative vacuum draws blood into the penis which
creates the erection. The erection is then maintained by a specially
designed tension ring that is transferred by the patient from the
device to the base of the penis. The erection will be maintained as
long as the band is on, even through ejaculation. The tension band will hold the
erection for up to 30 minutes. Do Vacuum Erection Devices really work? The vacuum device is 90% effective. Most failures occur from improper use of the device. Practicing with the device several times will improve results. Be sure to read all instructions. See “What if my vacuum device does not work?” if you are experiencing problems, call or or e-mail us confidentially at info@reachmedical.com for answers to user problems. What if my vacuum device is not working? Most
failures are due to improper use. However, the device will not work
for a small percentage of men who may be sensitive to the vacuum
pressure or who may be anatomically restricted. Common mistakes
include; not using the proper lubricant or amount of lubricant,
allowing enough time for penile engorgement, or using the wrong
tension band. Using the right lubricant is a critical part of
the process. Use a generous amount of water based lubricant like
Soma Therapy Lubricant or Osbon Lubricant on the pubic hair and on the penile shaft. The
lubricant aids in maintaining the vacuum seal through hair and skin
which is necessary for engorgement and allows the penis expansion in
the cylinder. Do not use a petroleum-based product for the vacuum
process and try to keep as much lubricant as possible off the
testicles. Can I use the vacuum device with other therapies? Vacuum devices are currently being used in combination with other treatment therapies such as oral medications, supplements, injections and others to improve their marginal performance. The pump can be used to improve partial erections and the tension ring can help prevent losing erections prematurely during intercourse. Recent studies have shown using the device as a therapy can help increase the performance of oral medications. This includes using the device in therapy sessions to improve blood flow to the penis. What is Penile Vacuum Therapy? Penile Vacuum Therapy is using the device in therapy sessions by intermittently drawing and releasing vacuum to the penis to increase blood flow to that area. This is done with out using the tension band. Performing regular therapy sessions may help open penile arteries and can possibly restore naturally elasticity. This exercise therapy has proven to increase men’s response to erectile medications. Click here to view a physicians forum report about penile vacuum therapy. How do I conduct a Penile Vacuum Therapy session? Tension bands are not used during PVT. Place the vacuum device over the penis. Be sure to use an adequate amount of water-based lubricant to maintain an airtight seal. Begin to apply vacuum to a comfortable maximum level. Hold the vacuum between thirty seconds and one minute and then release. Wait for at least ten seconds after the vacuum is released and repeat the process. Continue the session for no more than ten minutes, three to five times a week. Perform no more than one session during the course of a day. Try your erectile medication again after a month of therapy. It may take several weeks or months to notice improvement in medications depending on your condition.
Some
insurance companies cover vacuum erection devices under durable
medical equipment. Usually, a letter of medical necessity is
required from your Physician. Reach Medical, Inc. will provide a
written receipt for your order that you may use to apply for
reimbursement from your insurance company. Medicare Part B
patients are covered. HMO Medicare Patients are not covered.
As a courtesy, Reach Medical, Inc. will make arrangements through an
independent Medicare Provider to bill your Medicare for a vacuum
device. Are there precautions in using the vacuum device? Vacuum erection devices are a very safe method for treating impotence. The tension band is not to be worn over (30) thirty minutes. The blood must return to the body after thirty minutes. Patients with sickle cell anemia or who take MAO inhibitors should consult with a Physician before use. What is Female Stimulation Exercise? Discussions about women’s sexual health are increasing as treatments become available. It is widely accepted and important for women to have adequate blood flow to the clitoris in order to have successful and enjoyable sexual intercourse. The majority of nerves for female sensation are located in the clitoris. It is estimated that only 25% of females are able to achieve orgasm with their partner. New technology recently introduced to the ethical market provides help through exercise of the clitoris. This Eros device has shown to help 9 out of 10 women improve their ability to achieve satisfaction in sexual intercourse. The Eros is a female stimulation exercise device. It has a soft silicon cup that attaches to a handheld battery operated device. To exercise, the silicone cup is placed over the clitoris and vacuum is gently applied through control of the pump. The vacuum draws blood into the vessels feeding the nerves and cells of the smooth muscle tissue. Five minutes of daily exercise just two or three times a week can help condition the clitoris to respond when stimulated or aroused. Women who use the Eros report increased clitoral sensation, better self-vaginal lubrication and more frequent orgasms. The
Eros is a clitoral exercise device. As with any form of exercise,
please consult with your Physician. Maximum results come from at
least four weeks of therapy, however many women will experience
results immediately. Can I use EROS with other methods? Eros can be safely used with other treatment methods such as Stamina-RX. Using the Eros in combination with Stamina-RX can help improve the effectiveness of the device by increasing blood flow to the clitoris. Consult your Physician concerning the use of Eros in combination with drugs.
