The vacuum erection device. A noninvasive treatment for impotence

In 30 men we have tested the vacuum device after determining the cause of their impotence. 90% achieved penile rigidity sufficient for vaginal penetration. 10% didn't want to use it. Of the 30 men 20 (66%) reported that they used the device regularly after at least 6 months. In 4 patients the development of ecchymoses and petechiae was the reason to stop using the device. The vacuum device appears to be a safe, noninvasive and effective treatment for all causes of impotence.
