Abstract
A self-contained, battery-operated, external vacuum device includes an electric motor with an eccentric output shaft coupled with a reciprocating diaphragm pump in a common housing with the electric motor and batteries. A housing vacuum port is removably mounted inline on a reversible coupler, which in turn is received in an open end of a vacuum chamber for receiving a user's flaccid penis for vacuum engorgement therapy. The reversible coupler includes a pair of concentric annular extensions for establishing a vacuum seal with the housing vacuum port. A reverse side of the coupler includes an extended coupling nipple for alternate vacuum seal attachment with tubing connected to a manual pump. The vacuum chamber is tapered towards the penis introducing end to facilitate the full engorgement of the glans penis. A relative vacuum indicator on the housing permits the user to monitor the degree of negative pressure applied to the penis, which may then be adjusted with a flow control knob mounted on the housing. The electric motor is a relatively high torque low energy consumption motor to prevent pump stall.
