Erectile dysfunction (ED), is defined as the difficulty for a man to get and keep an erection. Although discussing private health issues like ED is sometimes awkward or embarrassing, it’s important to note that ED is quite prevalent. Research shows that as men age, they will eventually experience ED; the possibility sharply increases after age 50.
A penis vacuum pump creates a vacuum around the penis, which encourages blood flow and helps a man achieve and maintain an erection. These non-invasive devices can be used in conjunction with ED medication and when used with a constricting penis ring erections can last longer.
Vacuum constriction devices (VCD) are most commonly used to treat damage to nerves controlling the erection reflex, poor blood flow into the penis, and too much blood flow out of the penis. Penis vacuum pumps are safe to use with few potential long-term side effects, and have been shown to be effective in preserving function after prostate surgery and radiation for the treatment of prostate cancer. They are also recommended to treat anxiety-related ED. We think the Encore Deluxe Battery and Manual Vacuum Erection Penis Pump is the best, and here is why!

Most penis vacuum pumps are either manually or battery operated. The Encore Vacuum Pump includes both a manual and a battery-operated pump. Without trying one out, there is no way of knowing which design will provide the best experience. The multi-option Encore Vacuum Pump takes the guesswork out of your purchase and ensures whether the manual or battery-operated version is best for you, you’ll have it when you purchase the Encore Vacuum Pump.
The Encore Vacuum Pump comes with an impressive list of accessories, saving you the trouble of having to purchase separate items to get optimal results. This pump’s kit includes seven sizes of rings to ensure an ideal fit, an easy-to-use ring loading applicator, scrotal tissue protection body shield, lubricant, patented ring ejection system, and a zippered carrying case. It ships to you in discreet packaging and its case is perfect for protecting your privacy while traveling.
To get the most out of the user experience, clear instructions can make a significant difference. To ensure you can confidently deploy this device, the Encore Vacuum Pump comes with easy-to-follow instructions in an instruction booklet plus an accompanying instructional video. Additionally, should you ever misplace the instructions, Rehabmart’s product page can provide you with a PDF user manual, so you will always have access to clear instructions.
Doctors can write prescriptions for penis vacuum pumps, and if you have any questions, you should consult with your physician. But fortunately, the Encore Vacuum Pump can be purchased without a prescription. However, you should always consult your doctor before using. Unlike oral medications that enhance the effects of nitric oxide as a way to address ED, using a penis vacuum pump doesn’t require medical intervention. Restoring function for up to 90 percent of men, this non-invasive treatment has fewer side effects and costs less than prescription medications and surgical procedures.
The American Urological Association has created guidelines on ED to provide clinicians with directions on treatment. The AUA noted men should be informed of all options for treatment of ED. Vacuum erection devices canrestore sexual function and enhance the daily quality of life for a user and his partner while minimizing adverse events.
As a first step to addressing ED, non-invasive penis vacuum pump treatment without side effects can provide an ideal solution. The Encore Vacuum Pump is one of the least invasive and least expensive options for men who are not suitable candidates for pharmacotherapy. However, you should also review the potential side effects. An erection is produced and maintained by the penis vacuum pump for up to 30 minutes. This treatment doesn't have any of the side effects that come with oral ED medications, nor the risks and recovery time that are associated with invasive procedures.
“My heart problem, diabetes, and medications have resulted in erectile dysfunction. The pills prescribed by doctors for ED didn’t work very well, and they are also very expensive. The Encore Deluxe Penis Pump has worked every time, and it costs less than six pills.” - Thomas H.
“This pump is definitely more effective than the cheap knock-offs that are easy to find online. This is a quality device.” - Geoff B.
“It took me a few attempts to learn how to use it. But after a very slight learning curve, it became pretty easy to apply and get faster. Having the option of manual or battery was a big help as I was figuring out the best way to use it.” - Ross R.
A: Generally, you'll be more comfortable if you stand, but you can also sit on the edge of a chair or bed.
A: Although generally thought of as a very low-risk therapy, there are some risks and side effects including pain or bruising if used incorrectly, burst blood vessels (especially if the constriction ring is too tight), an unnatural feeling of erections, lack of firmness especially at the base of the penis, pain or discomfort during ejaculation, and diminished spontaneity. Always review the potential side effects with your healthcare provider before starting any therapy. If you happen to experience side effects, talk to your doctor immediately.
A: First you put the pump on one end of the tube and the ring injector on the other. Then you mount the revive ring. After that, draw the vacuum to the desired erection, then put the restriction ring directly around the penis to maintain the erection. PDF instructions and an accompanying video are each available on the product page.
A: To ensure you get the best results from a penis vacuum pump, follow all the manufacturer directions, use lubricant, build up the pressure slowly while pumping and listen to your body so you remain comfortable, try it out on your own so you can familiarize yourself with it and use it with confidence with your partner.
Erectile dysfunction impacts a significant number of men at some point in their lives, and is not anything to be ashamed of or embarrassed about. A non-invasive penis vacuum pump doesn’t require a prescription and is an affordable clinically tested device that allows men with ED to achieve and maintain an erection for a more satisfying sexual experience. Always consult your healthcare provider to discuss your treatment options.
The Encore Vacuum Pump comes with a robust complement of accessories in a discreet kit that includes both manual and battery versions and seven sizes of rings. With so many available options, the Encore Vacuum Pump is able to serve a wide range of users.
