[A new vacuum mechanism for the etiologic treatment of erectile dysfunction].
OBJECTIVE
To demonstrate the usefulness of the new, computerized and programmable electronic vacuum erection devices in the etiological treatment and prevention of erectile dysfunction.


METHODS
In erectile dysfunction due to incipient fibrosis of the penile vascular system, the programmable vacuum erection devices that achieve passive erection with low negative pressures, act as dilators of the corpus cavernosum arterial vascular system.


RESULTS
20 patients with grades I and II erectile dysfunction were treated with the new Vacuum Plus Tratamiento (VPT) with highly satisfactory results.


CONCLUSIONS
The results achieved with the new vacuum erection devices like the VPT show their efficacy in the etiological treatment, as well as prevention, of erectile dysfunction arising from fibrosis of the penile vascular system.
