The intended use of the device is to assist users in achieving a full erection, i.e., to create an erection in men with Erectile dysfunction by means of an applied vacuum to the penis, which draws blood to the penile corpora cavernosa, causing the penis to become erect and rigid. The constriction bands are then placed around the base of the erect penis to restrict the flow of venous blood leaving the penis.
