The short answer
A vacuum erection device (VED) is a clear cylinder placed over the penis. Removing air creates gentle negative pressure that draws blood into the penis. A soft tension ring is then slid to the base to help keep the erection firm for intercourse.
Because it works mechanically instead of chemically, a VED can help men whose ED comes from ageing, diabetes, heart or blood-pressure medications, or prostate cancer surgery, including many men who could not take or did not respond to ED pills. Vacurect is a one-piece, manual VED, so there is nothing to assemble and no batteries to fail.

Vacurect can be used after a radical prostatectomy or prostate cancer treatment, when nerves and blood flow are still recovering.
Many of our customers with type 2 diabetes use Vacurect with success, especially when pills have become less reliable over time.
No pills means no drug interactions. A good option for men whose doctors have concerns about ED medication.
No timing a pill hours ahead, no headaches or flushing. Ready when the moment is right, not when the pill kicks in.
Not medical advice. Talk to your doctor before using any ED treatment, especially if you take blood thinners or have a bleeding disorder.
How to use Vacurect
Apply a little water-based lubricant on the head and shaft and rest the head at the opening of the tension system.
Slide the sleeve up and down to create the vacuum pressure. You control the pressure at all times. No motors, cords or batteries.
Press the edge of the tension system to release the vacuum pressure from the cylinder and remove the cylinder, keeping the tension system in place at the base of the penis. Do not keep the ring on longer than 30 minutes at a time.
Real customers. Real letters.
“At 59 years old I am recovering from complete prostate removal surgery due to cancer. I’m thankful for the help Vacurect is providing in making intercourse not only possible but enjoyable with my wife. She is a Registered Nurse and has been very impressed with the simplicity and effectiveness.”
“I am a type 2 diabetic and have experienced diminishing erection capabilities for several years. Over time I had to take more and more tablets. The Vacurect is wonderful. I would say that my success rate is 100%.”
“I’m 72, my wife is 69, and the first time I used the Vacurect and tension system, she was very pleased too. It beats any of the ED pills as you have instant, usable erections at any time.”
“For seven years I used a competitor’s system. It was cumbersome and occasionally painful. Thank you for developing such a simple, effective, and convenient system. I’m 73.”
“Thanks very much for filling our order. It works great! The very first time was a success, something I had not experienced for a long while. I’ll recommend it to anyone I know having ED problems.”
“After prostate surgery I thought my sex life was over. You guys made me a whole man again. P.S. Lady friend likes it, too.”
“This unit is absolutely the best. Very easy to use and 100% effective. I previously owned a battery-operated vacuum pump that was cumbersome and annoying to use. The Vacurect is quick and easy.”
