Extender design and safety

One of the important questions (and most frequently asked) is "how safe is it? Men want to be sure that any device that they place on their penis, especially something mechanical, is not going to cause problems. Most people would agree; it's wise to know all you can about any medical process before you commit and begin. 

Penis extenders usually follow a similar design and the best models tend to conform to a design like the one outlined below.

Extender design

Most extenders consist of the following parts. The base of the unit (which is pressed against the body) consists of a plastic ring, usually designed with a notch for the urethra (for comfort). A pair of metal bars (spanner bars) attaches to the base and act as the main support for the unit, often containing a spring in the better quality units.

The far end of the unit carries a plastic resting plate (moulded for comfort) for the head of the penis. Attached to this plate is the ‘head restraint' strap, which is usually made of silicone (for comfort along with durability). Be sure that you are not allergic to silicone before wearing one of these units over an extended period.

Be sure to purchase enough length with the spanner bars to accommodate both your current size and the size you aim to become. Begin with less pressure and build up, as explained below.

Better units come with a means for protecting a sensitive penis head. If you have an over-sensitive penis head (or are uncircumcised) you may desire extra comfort, and should definitely look into a unit that provides this extra padding.

But is it safe?

YES! Lengthening of the penis through a penis traction device is a safe procedure when done according to the instructions provided. With a medically tested device like the ProExtender you can take assurance that both the device AND it's instructions for use were designed by specialists in plastic surgery. Good quality products are made available to the public only after sufficient significant medical testing for safety and effectiveness. The ProExtender had nearly 10 years of such testing and use before it was made available in North America.  

High quality devices like the ProExtender are absolutely safe when used as directed, and can be relied upon to deliver the results quoted.
