1. An apparatus for exerting a tensile force on a penis, the apparatus comprising:
a) a traction chamber with an interior surface extending continuously from a proximal end to a distal end, the traction chamber comprising a tubular section extending from a primary opening at the proximal end and coalescing into an enclosed end-piece that extends to the distal end of the traction chamber, a distal end of the tubular section also representing a proximal end of the end-piece, wherein the interior surface of the tubular section comprises tapered interior sidewalls, a taper such that an interior diameter of the tubular section progressively increases from the primary opening to the distal end of the tubular section, the taper configured such that, when the penis is disposed within a partially evacuated traction chamber, an entire surface area of the interior surface of the tubular section transmits a compressive force against the penis; b) a valve coupled with the traction chamber, the valve configured to releasably couple with a vacuum device configured to draw air from the traction chamber; c) a flexible air tight seal comprising a tubular configuration with a skirt forming a distal segment of the tubular configuration, wherein, when the apparatus is in an assembled state, the skirt is stretched under tension to cover the primary opening of the traction chamber, and wherein tension within the skirt urges it to adhere against an exterior surface of the traction chamber to form an air tight abutment between the skirt and the traction chamber; d) a hook coupled to the traction chamber and structurally configured to transmit a tensile force to the traction chamber. |
