About Encore Vacuum Erection Systems
Vacuum erection devices (VEDs) are a well-established, non-invasive treatment for erectile dysfunction recommended by the American Urology Association as a safe, effective, drug-free option for men who cannot or prefer not to use medication. Encore vacuum systems create gentle negative pressure to produce an erection, which is then maintained with a tension ring. No drugs. No injections. No surgery. Immediate results. Clinical data supports success in up to 95% of men with impotence across a wide range of causes including post-surgical, diabetes-related, and cardiovascular ED.
Encore is the only ED pump brand to offer a lifetime warranty on the pump and cylinder - a distinction no other manufacturer in this category matches. All Encore systems require no prescription, fit 99.9% of users with the standard cylinder, and ship in plain unmarked packaging.
Who Vacuum Therapy Is Appropriate For
- Post-prostatectomy rehabilitation - vacuum therapy is widely recommended following prostate surgery; regular use supports penile health and blood flow while nerve function recovers
- Cardiovascular conditions or nitrate medications - men who cannot take PDE5 inhibitors (Viagra, Cialis, Levitra) due to heart conditions or drug interactions; vacuum therapy has no cardiovascular contraindications
- Diabetes-related ED - works independently of the vascular and neurological pathways affected by diabetes
- Preference for drug-free treatment - no side effects, no ongoing prescription cost, no drug interactions
- Medication non-response - men for whom oral ED medications have not produced adequate results
- Cost considerations - oral ED medications cost $15-$70 per dose; vacuum therapy is a one-time equipment purchase
