What is a vacuum therapy system?

A vacuum therapy system is a device designed to help achieve and maintain an erection. An individual should consult his doctor before using a vacuum therapy system, according to Healthline.

A vacuum therapy system is not a permanent cure for erectile dysfunction. The device uses air suction to draw blood into the penis. The vacuum therapy system is less invasive than other erectile dysfunction treatments. The device can be used alone or with other treatments. The vacuum therapy system is sometimes called a penis pump or erectile dysfunction pump. Most men are able to have intercourse using a vacuum therapy system, explains Healthline.
