Vacuum erection devices: the basics
Vacuum erection devices, sometimes called vacuum therapy systems, are non-invasive, drug-free devices commonly used as part of erectile dysfunction management. A cylinder is placed over the penis and a pump removes air from the cylinder, creating a vacuum that draws blood into the penis. When the system is used with a tension ring, the ring is placed at the base of the penis to help maintain the erection after the cylinder is removed.
This collection includes manual and battery-powered systems from Osbon ErecAid, Osbon Esteem, and Encore, plus compatible rings and replacement parts. Some devices require a prescription; review our prescription policy before ordering.
Manual or automatic pump?
Both styles use the same basic vacuum principle; the difference is how the vacuum is created.
- Manual pumps use a hand-operated bulb or pump. They suit people who prefer a simple mechanical system, direct control, or no batteries.
- Automatic or battery pumps use a battery-powered pump. They may be easier to operate with limited hand strength or dexterity.
- Tension ring sizing is not one-size-fits-all. Follow the manufacturer's sizing instructions and your clinician's guidance. An incorrect fit may be uncomfortable or may not work as intended.
- Replacement parts. Rings, cylinders, sleeves, seals, and batteries may need replacement. Select parts made for your system whenever possible.
A clinician who knows your medical history can help determine whether vacuum therapy is appropriate and which device features to discuss.
Male urinary incontinence and catheter options
Urinary management needs vary by mobility, hand function, skin condition, and clinician direction. These products serve different roles; follow your prescription or recommended routine first.
- External or condom catheters are worn over the penis and connect to drainage tubing and a collection bag. Correct sizing and regular skin checks are important.
- Intermittent catheters are inserted to drain the bladder at scheduled intervals and then removed. Product choice may depend on catheter type, coating, and user dexterity.
- Afex urinary management systems are external systems for male urine collection. They may suit men who need a wearable option and have been assessed for that approach.
- Absorbent underwear and pads manage light to heavier leakage without tubing or a collection bag — useful for everyday protection, travel, or backup.
Follow manufacturer directions and your healthcare professional's plan. Seek medical advice promptly for skin breakdown, pain, fever, inability to drain urine, or a new urinary symptom.
