The ErecAid System is based on the simple concept of entrapment of blood in the penis following vacuum-assisted penile engorgement by proximally placed elastic constriction bands. The SYNERGIST Erection System is a semirigid external appliance shaped like a condom that is left on the penis after vacuum tumescence has been achieved. Both devices can be used safely by any man who feels that he has an impotence problem, and the outcome is fairly predictable. These devices seem to be especially effective in men with partial impotence, and they offer the impotent man an alternative to surgical placement of penile prosthesis, a surgical revascularization procedure, intracavernosal injection of vasoactive drugs, or sexual abstinence. These devices appear to be safe and relatively inexpensive ways for the impotent man to make his penis rigid enough to engage in sexual intercourse. An impotent man who selects suction-device therapy may still be able to use other forms of treatment should he need or choose it.
伊瑞凯德系统基于一个简单的概念，即在通过近端放置的弹性束缚带进行真空辅助阴茎充血后，将血液困在阴茎中。协同勃起系统是一种半刚性的外部器具，形状像避孕套，在实现真空肿胀后留在阴茎上。任何觉得自己有阳痿问题的男性都可以安全使用这两种装置，而且结果相当可预测。这些装置在部分阳痿的男性中似乎特别有效，它们为阳痿男性提供了一种替代阴茎假体手术植入、外科血管重建手术、海绵体内注射血管活性药物或禁欲的方法。对于阳痿男性来说，这些装置似乎是使阴茎坚硬到足以进行性交的安全且相对便宜的方法。选择抽吸装置治疗的阳痿男性如果需要或选择其他形式的治疗，仍然可以使用。
