Could a Handheld Device Replace Erectile Dysfunction Drugs?

Men who find that Viagra and the other erectile dysfunction drugs aren’t working for them have another option available to them that is often overlooked in discussions of ED treatment: a handheld, targeted stimulation device.

 

Viberect is a battery-powered handheld device that delivers targeted stimulation to the penile nerves that control erection and ejaculation.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration in early 2011 cleared the way for Viberect to be marketed in the United States, ruling that it worked in much the same fashion as similar devices that were already on the market.

How the Viberect Works

Manufactured by Reflexonic of south-central Pennsylvania, the Viberect device is designed to grip the head of the penis between two vibrating gel pads that activate the network of nerve reflexes responsible for initiating erection and rigidity.

Variable frequency controls allow the user to increase or decrease the degree of stimulation as needed. The device is to be used for periods of five to 10 minutes at most.

Unlike the popular oral ED medications, such as Viagra and Cialis, which work by temporarily optimizing blood flow to the penis, Viberect focuses on stimulating the nerves responsible for the erection response.

This might make it an appealing option for men whose impotence is caused by the nerve damage associated with type 2 diabetes or other neurodegenerative conditions. A no-frills Viberect device retails for roughly $300.

Try an ED Drug

In short, this device probably isn’t the treatment of choice for everyone with ED, but it could help men that don’t respond well to the oral impotence drugs. However, if Viagra or one of the other oral ED drugs is what you need to overcome your symptoms of impotence, you might want to consider ordering them from a trustworthy online facilitator such as eDrugstore.com.

If you already have a prescription, you can fax it or scan and email it along with your order. Alternatively, eDrugstore can arrange a complimentary online consultation with a member of its team of licensed U.S. physicians who can authorize a prescription if appropriate.
