New ‘revolutionary’ medical device treats erectile dysfunction at home
A ‘BREAKTHROUGH’ innovative home-use device to treat erectile dysfunction which uses radiofrequency technology is now available in the UK.
Med-Tech start-up Ohh-Med Medical launched Vertica earlier this year and it has been described as ‘revolutionary’ with men experiencing positive results within just four weeks.
The V-shaped device, which has handles both sides with a hole in the middle, is safe for home use and three, 30-minutes treatments per week is recommended for the first month. It is then recommended for use twice weekly for another 30 days. Prescription-based medication, in contrast, can have side effects.
Fabio Castiglione, Consultant Urologist and Andrologist at King’s College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and Associate Professor at the University College London (UCL), said: “Vertica is a revolutionary idea and, based on the results of the small clinical trial, one that promises to be potentially life-changing for men suffering with ED.
“The device is the first in the medical scenario to treat the outflow and not just the inflow and is a creditable alternative solution to other available treatments which are designed to improve the erectile mechanism.
“In addition, Vertica is drug-free, suitable for home use, with long-lasting results as, in some cases, users are stating they are seeing results after only four to six weeks of use.”
Vertica was developed by urologists and experts in radiofrequency technology and relies on the use of low frequency radio waves to ‘renew and rejuvenate collegen fibre tissues in the penis. This helps ‘trap’ the blood, decreasing the leakage from the penis and improving the erectile mechanism for a sustained period.
Vertica is supported by efficacy and safety data from a pilot clinical study published by the peer-reviewed International Journal of Impotence Research – a medical journal that covers the study of sexual dysfunction. The results, based on 28 participants who had ED for at least six months, demonstrated that the utilisation of radiofrequency energy improved erectile function and erectile quality among participants with more than an 85 per cent success rate, without any side effects.
Vertica is intended for use by men of all ages experiencing erectile difficulties and includes a special accessory to treat deeper tissue, a charger, a case, and conductive gel, and is available on the vertica-labs.com website. Vertica is CE-MDR approved in Europe and registered with the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) in the UK.
Ohh-Med Medical founder Daniel Lischinsky said: “Vertica is a safe and easy-to-use, non-invasive medical device, designed to improve erectile dysfunction in the long-term. It is not a medication; no prescription is required and there are no side effects. Vertica is safe and is driven by scientific data.
“Vertica addresses a significant unmet need in the male sexual health market for an effective and long-lasting solution that actually treats the root cause of erectile dysfunction, rather than just the symptom. It improves male self-esteem and confidence by supporting a full and active sex life.”
