title: [Diagnosis and treatment of vascular erectile dysfunction with the vibration-vacuum penis stimulator "Sanos"].
abstract: The paper describes a new device for treatment of vascular erectile dysfunction--the vibrovacuum fallostimulator "Sanos". This method differs from conventional local decompression in a dynamic regimen of vacuum effect on the penis in the presence of vibration. The resultant reduced exposure of the organ to vacuum prevents such serious complications as edema, hemorrhages and necrosis of penile skin. The dynamic vacuum regimen is also effective in restoring erectile activity of the penis producing erection similar to physiological. A 10-15-day course of vibrovacuum fallostimulation was conducted in 330 patients with vascular erectile dysfunction. Recovery of arteriocavernous blood flow was registered in 92.1%. No complications occurred. The above method can be also applied for diagnosis of both insufficient arterial circulation in the penis and defects in venoocclusive mechanism of erection.
