Penis "traction" devices: how they work
Penis "traction" devices: how they work
The traction device category of penis enlargement has
been the focus of more and more publicity recently, leading some
to wonder if this is a new, untested idea. The truth is, the
traction technique has its roots in ancient tribal customs,
cultural and spiritual practices and even modern-day medical
methods for rebuilding tissue in surgical patients. The idea has
been around for centuries. What's new is the availability of
safe, effective, medically developed devices for home use -- and
now the idea behind them is well-tested and documented, with a
long history of dramatic results.
Most people are familiar with some of the more extreme examples
of traction, such as the use by African tribal peoples and
Amazonian indigenous tribes of lip disks, ear disks or neck
rings to stretch these body parts to almost unbelievable size or
length. Think National Geographic or the Discovery channel:
you've surely seen photos of the amazing enlargement capability
of the human body. Many native people have used traction to
increase the size of the penis, too: the Sadhus holy men of
India, Peruvian Cholomecs and Papua Indians of New Guinea who
ritually employ penis stretching to lengths of up to 22 inches!
There are numerous other cultural examples of this type of penis
elongation.
Today, traction is the medical term for carefully
calibrated, continuous pressure applied to help with healing
after surgery, injury, trauma or burns. Simply put, it means
stressing tissues by stretching, and then allowing the body to
rebuild itself naturally. Examples are mastectomy patients, who
require expansion of the skin and muscle in the chest prior to
reconstructive surgery; penis enlargement surgery patients, who
employ traction to help heal, strengthen and straighten the
penis; and burn patients, who can create their own skin grafts
by means of traction which "stretches" or enlarges an area of
tissue prior to transplant.
The stretching opens up spaces between cells, and triggers a
growth or healing response in the body, in which adjacent cells
begin to divide and fill in the space. With continued use, the
growth can number in the millions of new cells, significantly
adding size and tissue to the area.
That, essentially, is the idea behind traction devices for penis
enlargement. In one popular and well-documented device --
designed by a urologist and created by a medical company in
Denmark -- traction is applied by means of adjustable,
calibrated bars between an anatomically curved base that fits
comfortably at the root of the penis, and a surgical-grade band
that slips of the glans (head) of the penis. As the penis
lengthens, the traction and distance can be adjusted. This
device is meant to be discreetly worn under the clothes and/or
during sleep. Marketed under the name ProExtender
