Following these instructions is essential to get maximum results from your Spartan Penis Pump. Please read over everything at least once before your first use.

• Wash your Spartan Pump using warm, soapy water, then rinse and dry thoroughly.

• It is necessary that your pubic area is reasonably well-trimmed - this is required to make a tight vacuum seal against the body.

• Do not use constriction rings until at least 75 days after prostate surgery.

• The Spartan pump can be used therapeutically without the constriction rings by keeping the pump in place with a vacuum seal around the penis for up to 10 minutes.

• To maximize your recovery results, this should be performed three times per week, up to 10 minutes each session, for eight consecutive months following surgery.

• This therapy can begin 30 days after prostate surgery.

• You can find more detailed instructions in this program.

• Never wear a constriction ring for more than 30 minutes. If worn longer, permanent damage is possible.

• Removing constriction rings may be difficult for men with low hand strength.

• All users should apply a water-based lubricant to help remove the ring.

• Allow at least 60 minutes of rest between constriction ring sessions.

• Do not fall asleep wearing the constriction ring.

• Do not use a constriction ring under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

Skin Bruising/Petechia:

• Use of a constriction ring may cause bruising or blood vessels to break below the skin's surface.

• These tiny reddish spots are known as petechia and are not cause for alarm - they usually heal within a week.

• If petechia does not heal within a week or is otherwise severe, please consult your doctor.

Constriction Ring Maintenance:

• A constriction ring is effective for 50-100 uses without losing tension. Once a ring loses tension, you should replace it.

• Oil-based lubricants (such as petroleum jelly) will damage constriction rings. Only use water-based lubricants on the rings.

• If you take large quantities of blood thinners or aspirin, consult your doctor before using a penis pump.

• If you have Sickle Cell Trait, Sickle Cell Disease, prolonged erections, or other diseases associated with changes in blood clotting, do not use a penis pump until consulting a doctor.

• Penis pumps should not be painful or decrease sensation. Discontinue use or release air pressure immediately if this occurs.

• Penis pumps may cause bruising or blood vessels to break below the skin's surface, known as petechia.

• This condition is common and usually heals within a week. Do not be alarmed if this occurs. You may continue to use a penis pump unless the petechia is severe.

• If petechia does not heal within a week or is otherwise severe, please consult your doctor.
