The Patented Angled Ergonomic Design
Conventional VED pump bodies are straight — the pump attaches directly to the cylinder in line, requiring the user to hold both the cylinder against the body and operate the pump mechanism overhead or at an awkward angle. The Esteem's patented angled pump body solves this. The angle places the pump handle in a natural position relative to the hand when the cylinder is held against the body — the same ergonomic principle used in angled kitchen tools and medical instruments. The result is that the pumping motion flows naturally from the wrist rather than requiring the forearm to twist or the shoulder to compensate. One hand, natural grip, no awkward positioning.
This design is particularly meaningful for:
- Men with arthritis — reduced wrist and hand strain during the pumping motion
- Men with limited dexterity — natural grip reduces the precision demands of the pumping action
- Men in post-prostatectomy rehabilitation — daily therapy sessions are more sustainable when the mechanics are comfortable
- First-time VED users — intuitive ergonomics reduce the technique learning curve
Osbon Pressure-Point Tension Rings
The 4 included Pressure-Point rings use Osbon's patented tension ring design — medically engineered geometry that applies venous compression at specific anatomical pressure points rather than uniform circumferential pressure. The result is effective erection maintenance with a more comfortable fit than standard O-ring style tension bands. Available in four sizes (A, B, C, D) to accommodate anatomical variation. The ring loader included with the Esteem Manual makes accurate ring placement onto the cylinder a one-action step, removing the rolling and stretching required with manual ring loading.
FAQs
Should I choose the Esteem Manual or the Esteem Battery?
Choose the Esteem Manual if you prefer direct hand-controlled suction, want battery-free operation, or find the tactile feedback of manual pumping preferable. Choose the Esteem Battery if push-button one-button ease is the priority, or if limited hand strength, arthritis, or post-surgical dexterity changes make sustained manual pumping uncomfortable. Both carry the same 5-year warranty, same kit, same ergonomic body — the pump mechanism is the only difference. Not sure? 866-218-0902.
Is this appropriate for post-prostatectomy rehabilitation?
Yes — the Esteem Manual is widely used and clinically appropriate for daily penile rehabilitation following prostatectomy. The ergonomic design makes daily sessions more comfortable than straight-body pumps. Consult your urologist for specific protocol guidance on timing, frequency, and duration.
How does the ring loader work?
The easy-action ring loader stretches the Pressure-Point ring open and holds it in position for one-action placement onto the cylinder end. With the ring correctly seated on the cylinder, it transfers to the base of the penis after the erection is achieved via the standard ring transfer technique. The loader eliminates the manual rolling and stretching of traditional ring loading, improving placement accuracy and speed — particularly valuable for the Pressure-Point ring's specific geometry.
Do I need a prescription?
No. The Esteem Manual is available over the counter. Consult your physician before use if you have cardiovascular conditions, bleeding disorders, or take anticoagulant medications.
