I am pleased to note the discussion of vacuum erection device (pump) therapy along with the restorex. I bought and used the restorex for a period of time (anyone want it?) but later found the VED much more helpful. Of course, one person's experience is just that! I was not aware of using VED for oxygenation and stretching when I heard about the restorex. I'm not clear how the restorex adds to a good protocol for VED. (I mean cycling up and down, not just pump and hold.)

So fritzo pretty well outlined it. The VED and traction are really two separate things. I dont think men who are recovering normally from prostatectomy need to consider penile traction (like Restorex) as they should be experiencing normal nocturnal erections that will take care of both the stretching of the tunica and oxygenation. As I understand it, the stretching does not help with oxygenation of the penis rather it breaks down any scar tissue and keeps the tunica from contracting...basically replacing the night erections that may be not happening in some of us.

@spino I'm no expert, but I think the Restorex is definitely the better vehicle for restoring lost penis length. There's a whole subgroup of men who use traction devices to increase their natural length. In our case, I think the hope is just to regain what we've lost.
I'll add that my sexual function doctor, who looks to be a national expert, very much thinks that the Restorex device is more effective based on all of the studies that have been done using the device. I have no horse in the race...so keeping my options open.
