External vacuum therapy for erectile dysfunction: use and results.

Dr. Lewis, Dr. Witherington, Georgia (USA). World Journal of Urology, 1997

UK management guidelines for erectile dysfunction

Dr. Ralph (UK). BMJ, August-2000

Conclusions: One study quoted an overall clinical success rate of around 90%, with more than 80% of patients continuing with the device, but in another study only 23% of patients asked for a prescription after a two week trial and only 53% of these reported complete or reasonable satisfaction.

Study

Dr. Köhler, Dr. Witherington, Minneapolis (USA). British Journal of Urology International, 2007
