Erectile dysfunction – treat it without drugs, simply! Erectile dysfunction affects a large proportion of men during their lives and can have many treatable causes. The Medintim Active Erection System is a CE-certified, drug-free medical device that, with a battery-powered, motorized vacuum pump – operated comfortably – helps achieve an erection quickly. Why choose the Active Erection System? Motorized pump – quick erection The battery-powered motor pump creates vacuum at the push of a button, so it interferes less with the intimate situation than using a manual pump. Erection in 60–90 seconds The motor pump quickly generates a vacuum inside the tube, which typically leads to erection formation within about one to one and a half minutes. The ring maintains the erection A constriction ring slid to the base of the penis reduces venous outflow, thereby maintaining the erection – recommended for up to half an hour – and allowing sexual intercourse. Medical certification EU medical device (Class I, MDR). The vacuum pump motor has a 2-year warranty. Easy to clean with warm water; components remain replaceable years later. Who might it be suitable for? Quick and stable erection The motor pump creates vacuum at the push of a button, removing the need for manual pumping. This disturbs the intimate situation less. If you cannot take the "blue pill" Some heart medications preclude the use of oral erection drugs, others may be ineffective or cause side effects. The mechanical vacuum solution can replace medication in such cases. If a chronic disease causes erectile dysfunction Erectile dysfunction often coexists with conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, or neurological disorders. In such cases, a vacuum device — after medical consultation — can be a drug-free alternative. Specifically for rehabilitation after prostate surgery, see the Rehabi PVT penis trainer. How to use? Step by step 1 Preparation Apply the supplied lubricant gel to the tube rim and to the base of the penis. Choose the constriction ring size that fits you, and check that the pump battery is charged. 2 Create vacuum at the push of a button Place the penis in the tube, press the tube rim against the body, and start the motorized pump. The vacuum builds gradually, causing local blood engorgement and resulting in an erection. 3 Applying the ring After achieving an erection, slide the ring on the tube to the base of the penis, then remove the tube. The ring maintains the erection — for up to 30 minutes. 4 Cleaning and storage After use, the tube and rings are easy to clean with warm water. All components can be stored in the supplied bag until the next use. How does it work? – Mechanism of action The physiological basis of an erection is blood flowing into and expanding the corpora cavernosa of the penis. A vacuum device mechanically supports this process: the motor pump creates reduced pressure (vacuum) inside the tube, producing negative pressure around the penis that promotes local blood inflow and erection formation. After achieving an erection, placing a constriction ring at the base of the penis reduces blood outflow, allowing the erection to persist after removing the tube — for up to half an hour. The device contains no active pharmaceutical ingredient, so its effect does not pharmacologically burden the body. What do you get in the package? 1 pc Vacuum tube (200 mm length, 53 mm inner diameter) 1 pc Battery-powered (motorized) vacuum pump Penis rings in multiple sizes (9, 12, 15, 18 and 21 mm diameter) 1 pc Lubricant gel (50 ml) 1 pc Carrying bag Warranty, spare parts The vacuum pump motor has a 2-year warranty. All device components — including the four differently sized constriction rings — remain separately replaceable even years later. The lubricant gel is also available as an accessory. Frequently asked questions How long can I keep the constriction ring on? The constriction ring may be kept on for a maximum of 30 minutes, never longer. If you experience any pain, numbness, or discoloration, remove the ring immediately. Can I use it while on anticoagulants? When on anticoagulant therapy or if you have a bleeding disorder, using a vacuum device carries an increased risk of bruising. In such cases, consult your treating physician before use. How is it different from the manual model? The difference lies in how the vacuum is created: the Active Erection System uses a battery-powered motor pump (one-handed, at the push of a button), whereas the Manual Erection System is manual. The erection mechanism and ring-based maintenance are identical for both. Is the use painful? With proper use it is not painful. At first the vacuum and the constriction ring may feel unusual, but the lubricant gel and correct ring size help ensure comfortable use. Can the product be returned? The product belongs to the category of intimate hygiene devices; for health protection and hygiene reasons we only accept returns for unopened, sealed packaging (Government Decree 45/2014.

Consult your physician or urologist before use!

This description does not replace medical advice. For persistent or unexplained erectile dysfunction, consult your physician or urologist. CE medical device certification (Class I).
