The Augusta Medical SomaTherapy-ED Response II is the most refined manual vacuum erection device in the Augusta Medical lineup — and one of the most elegantly engineered manual VEDs available from any manufacturer. The defining feature is Augusta Medical's proprietary Ultra Ease Mechanism: a manual pump system so precisely engineered that it can be operated with a single finger. Standard manual VED systems require sustained hand gripping or repeated squeeze-bulb action; the Response II's Ultra Ease Mechanism amplifies the user's mechanical input so dramatically that even men with limited hand strength, arthritis, or reduced grip can operate the device effectively without effort. Augusta Medical describes the Response II as delivering the same clinical negative pressure performance as their battery-operated Touch II system — in a sleek, battery-free, motor-free manual format that requires no charging and no maintenance. The standard 2.25"×8" medical-grade acrylic cylinder is wider than most competitor VED cylinders and comes with sizing adapters for anatomical customization. Multiple SureFit tension system sizes are included. The complete kit includes a training manual, instructional DVD, SomaTherapy-ED lubricant, loading cone, and discreet carrying case. 90%+ effective regardless of cause of ED. Made in Augusta, Georgia with 25+ years of R&D. No prescription required. 1-year warranty upon registration within 30 days — lifetime warranty upgrade available. Ships in plain, unmarked packaging.

What's in the Kit

The Ultra Ease Mechanism — How It Works

Standard manual VED pump designs require either sustained grip strength (squeeze-bulb designs) or repeated hand pumping (press-down spring designs). Both demand consistent muscular input from the user throughout the pumping phase of therapy. For men with arthritis, limited grip strength, post-surgical hand weakness, or any condition that makes sustained hand effort uncomfortable, this requirement creates a real barrier to consistent VED use.

Augusta Medical's Ultra Ease Mechanism addresses this at the engineering level. The mechanism is a proprietary design that dramatically amplifies the mechanical advantage of each user input — translating minimal physical effort into significant vacuum creation. The result is a manual pump that:

• Can be activated and operated with a single finger — not a full-hand grip
• Requires no sustained gripping, squeezing, or significant hand strength
• Creates the same clinical vacuum pressure as Augusta Medical's battery-operated Touch II system
• Operates without batteries, charging, motor maintenance, or any electrical component
• Maintains the user's full control over the speed and degree of vacuum creation

The Ultra Ease Mechanism is not just a simpler pump — it is a fundamentally different approach to the mechanical problem of creating vacuum. For men who have avoided VED therapy because they assumed it required more physical effort than they could manage, the Response II changes that assumption directly.

Response II vs. Other Augusta Medical Systems

Key Features

• Ultra Ease Mechanism — one-finger operation, battery-free — Augusta Medical engineered the Response II specifically to eliminate the grip strength and hand effort barrier that prevents some men from consistent VED use; the proprietary mechanism amplifies the user's mechanical input so that a single finger creates the same vacuum as a full-hand effort on a standard manual pump; this makes the Response II the most accessible manual VED for men with arthritis, post-surgical hand weakness, Parkinson's-related tremor, reduced grip strength from age, or any condition that makes sustained hand effort difficult — and it does this without batteries, motors, or any additional complexity
• Same vacuum performance as Augusta Medical's battery Touch II — Augusta Medical explicitly states that the Response II's Ultra Ease Mechanism delivers the same clinical negative pressure as their battery-operated Touch II system; for users who want the clinical effectiveness of an automatic VED without the ongoing battery cost, charging requirement, or motor maintenance, the Response II provides that equivalence in a manual format
• 2.25" × 8" cylinder — wider than standard — Augusta Medical's standard cylinder diameter (2.25") is wider than most competitor VED cylinders, accommodating a broader range of anatomies without requiring an upgrade to a larger cylinder; sizing adapters are included to customize the base fit for individual anatomy and improve the vacuum seal; larger cylinders up to 2.5"×12" are available on request
• Instructional DVD included — unique in the Augusta Medical lineup — the Response II is the only Augusta Medical system that includes an instructional DVD alongside the written manual; the visual format provides a significant learning advantage for first-time VED users, making the Response II a particularly strong choice for men new to vacuum therapy who benefit from seeing the technique demonstrated before attempting it themselves
• SomaTherapy-ED lubricant — proprietary formula — Augusta Medical's lubricant is specifically formulated for use with their VED systems, optimizing the seal between the cylinder base and the body for the most effective vacuum; standard personal lubricants may vary in viscosity, consistency, and interaction with the Augusta Medical cylinder material in ways that affect seal quality; the proprietary formula removes this variable
• Sleek ultra-compact design — Augusta Medical describes the Response II as an ultra-sleek system; the compact profile makes it easier to manage during use and more discreet for storage and travel than bulkier VED designs
• Made in Augusta, Georgia — 25+ years of vacuum therapy R&D — Augusta Medical Systems has focused exclusively on vacuum therapy systems for ED for over 25 years; the Response II reflects that specialized depth; all products are designed and manufactured in-house in Augusta, Georgia using medical-grade plastics with FDA-regulated quality controls
• 1-year warranty + lifetime upgrade available — the standard 1-year warranty activates upon registration within 30 days of purchase; Augusta Medical offers a lifetime warranty upgrade on the pump head and cylinder for an additional cost — worth considering for men who expect daily long-term VED use

Who the Response II Is Best For

• Men with limited hand strength or grip — arthritis, post-surgical hand weakness, reduced grip from aging, or any condition that makes standard manual pump operation uncomfortable; the one-finger Ultra Ease Mechanism removes grip strength as a requirement entirely
• Men who want a premium manual experience — the Response II is Augusta Medical's most refined manual VED; men who prefer manual control over automatic suction but want the most effortless possible operation
• First-time VED users — the included instructional DVD plus the ultra-easy operation makes the Response II a strong first VED choice; the learning curve for technique is reduced both by the visual instruction and by the forgiving, effortless pump action
• Men who want battery-equivalent performance without batteries — the Response II is specifically positioned as delivering the same vacuum as Augusta Medical's battery-operated system; for men who want to avoid battery dependence, charging, and motor maintenance while achieving the same clinical result
• Post-prostatectomy rehabilitation — appropriate for daily penile rehabilitation following prostate surgery; the minimal effort requirement makes daily therapy more sustainable for men in the recovery period; consult your urologist for specific protocol guidance

FAQs

How is the Ultra Ease Mechanism different from a standard squeeze-bulb or press-down pump?

Standard squeeze-bulb VED pumps require the user to repeatedly compress a rubber or silicone bulb — a motion that demands sustained grip strength and repeated squeezing action. Press-down spring pumps (like the Pos-T-Vac IVP-600 or Manual 3000) require repeated press strokes with consistent hand force. Both demand meaningful physical input from the user throughout the pumping phase. The Ultra Ease Mechanism is a proprietary Augusta Medical design that dramatically increases the mechanical advantage of each user input — the same way a lever multiplies force. A very small physical input from one finger produces the same vacuum effect as a full-hand effort on a standard pump. The mechanism itself handles the effort amplification; the user provides only directional guidance. This is genuinely different from simply saying a pump is "easy to use" — it is a specific engineering solution to the effort problem.

Is the Response II appropriate for men with arthritis?

Yes — the one-finger Ultra Ease Mechanism was specifically designed to accommodate men for whom standard VED pump operation is difficult due to limited hand strength or grip. Arthritis affecting the hands is one of the most common reasons men report difficulty with manual VED use; the Response II directly addresses this. If arthritis limits even single-finger operation, Augusta Medical's battery-operated systems (the OTC Premium or STF Plus, which include a battery pump head) may be more appropriate — call us at 866-218-0902 to discuss.

Can I get a larger cylinder if the standard 2.25" doesn't fit correctly?

Yes — Augusta Medical offers additional cylinder sizes up to 2.5"×12" for the Response II. The included sizing adapters address fit variation at the base of the standard cylinder; if the cylinder diameter itself is the issue, a larger cylinder can be ordered. Contact us before purchasing if you believe a larger cylinder is needed: 866-218-0902.

Do I need a prescription?

No. The Response II is an over-the-counter device requiring no prescription. Consult your physician before use if you have cardiovascular conditions, bleeding disorders, or are taking anticoagulant medications.

How discreet is shipping?

All orders ship in plain, unmarked outer packaging with no reference to the product category or website on the exterior of the box.
