vacuum erection devices

Vacuum erection devices (VEDs) are medical tools used to help men achieve and maintain an erection. They consist of a plastic cylinder placed over the penis, a pump that creates a vacuum inside the cylinder, and an elastic band. When the vacuum is applied, blood is drawn into the penis, causing it to become firm. The elastic band is then placed at the base to maintain the erection, and the device is removed. VEDs are non-invasive, can improve erectile function, and are often recommended for men with circulation issues or after certain surgeries.
