Summary

This study tests whether using a penile traction device (RestoreX) for 3 months before getting a penile implant can increase the length of the implant and improve patient satisfaction. About 48 men with erectile dysfunction will be randomly assigned to use the device or not. The goal is to see if this simple, non-surgical step leads to better outcomes.
