How Extenders Work & the Different Types

Basically all the extenders vary in only one point – the method of fixation. The rest of differences concerns constructive and engineering properties of bars and bundling, they are of no particular importance.

The noose extenders of penis are considered to be “classic”. These extenders differ only in ways of bar’s extension and fixation. Noose extenders are the most commonly used, but sometimes problems might occur while using them. Usually it depends on anatomical features of penis - small glands, leveled coronary sulcus, or initial stage of phimosis. In these cases patients sometimes cannot fix the extender to the body of the penis and successfully use the device, because of excessive compression or sliding of the penis glands.

To make the use of extenders more comfortable and to make the application of maximal extension safe, a hybrid support system extender was recently developed by a Canadian research and development firm. This type of fixation (i.e. strap) helps to make the use of the extenders more comfortable, because the extender is fixed in place with an elastic silicon strap over comfort pads; it minimizes the risk of damaging the foreskin or over-compressing the glands. Besides, these extenders are safely fixed on the penis even with the maximal extension applied, since a strap is in contact with the skin on a much wider area than a noose would be. The strap extenders are the recommended extender for both non-circumcised and circumcised patients. But in some cases, when the patient’s foreskin is too long or flabby, such extender might slide down, because it is difficult to cover a long foreskin fully with padding.

Regularly, to decide upon the kind of extender a patient should consult a specialist and try the device on. The X4 Deluxe Extender with its unique Hybrid Support System allows an individual to have access to both types of extender. For men seeking in home enlargement treatment, the X4 Deluxe Extender offers a dual support system, proven to be highly successful and efficient.
