How do penis enlargement devices work?
Penis traction devices are coming into popularity as of late, and with all the 'new' attention, some people wonder if this idea is brand new and untested.
In fact the technique of using traction first took root in ancient tribal customs, and the spiritual and cultural practices of indigenous peoples. Now even our modern medical community is using this method for rebuilding tissue in surgical patients. The idea is centuries-old. What is new is the development and creation of safe, effective, medically approved devices that can be used at home. These are now well-tested and well-documented, and have a history of producing results.
Most of us are familiar with the more extreme examples of what traction can do, like the practice of using neck rings (native Thai peoples), and the ear and lip disks worn by various tribes in South America. These native peoples have been known to use these principles (stretching the human body) to enlarge various body parts to unbelievable sizes.
You may actually have seen this type of thing on National Geographic Explorer, or the Discovery Channel; native cultures like the Sadhus of India, the Peruvian Cholomecs, or the Papua Indians of New Guinea all are said to have used penis stretching to achieve lengths of over a foot and a half! There are many examples of indigenous peoples having used these techniques to achieve penis elongation.
Today, traction used to help heal the human body after surgery, injury, trauma or burns. "Traction" is the medical term used to describe carefully calibrated and continuous pressure applied to the body. Put another way, stressing tissues by stretching them leads to the body place additional tissue in that area.
Examples include women who have undergone a mastectomy (breast removal due to cancer). In this case tissue expansion is used to grow more skin and muscle on the chest in conjunction with reconstructive surgery. Men who have had penis enlargement surgery are also instructed to use traction during healing, to help strengthen and straighten the penis. Burn patients can now have skin grafts by means of traction which "stretches" or enlarges an area of skin next to the scar, making it possible to cover over the scar and reduce the appearance of discoloured tissue.
What actually happens with stretching is that the stretch opens up spaces between the cells, triggering growth and healing where the nearby tissue creates new cells to fill in the spaces. As the body adds missions of new cells over time, the tissue in that area expands and becomes larger.
This is how penis enlargement devices work. The X4 Labs Extender, a device developed and tested by X4 Labs, uses a system of 'tension bars' to pull the penis into a longer position to begin exactly the process described above. With the lengthening of the penis, the device is adjusted to increase the pressure for continued growth. Sold under the name X4Labs, this device is easily purchased online or through your medical practitioner.

Is penile tissue expansion possible?
Tissue expansion is a revolutionary technique for human body modification, and has both a medical history over a century. In recent (recorded) history, a medical practitioner Codvilla first used expansion for medical purposes in 1905 in an attempt to lengthen a femur. This experiment was followed up later in the century when the medical practitioner, Neuman expanded skin using an inflatable balloon in 1957. Many successful experiments followed, resulting in a body of medical knowledge and the invention of new traction techniques.
Human tissue expansion has totally revolutionized plastic surgery during the past 30 years. Expanders and guided tissue growth have now been successfully used to enlarge many areas of the body, from bone to muscle and everything in between.
Tissue expansion is now used to reconstruct breast tissue. Placed under the muscles of the chest (pectoralis major), expansion is now a common procedure for breast reconstruction after surgical removal of breast tissue due to cancer (mastectomy). This allows a 'filling in' of the missing tissue, and a return to a more natural appearance, rather than using prosthetics.
Burn patients have also seen fabulous recoveries through treatment with a tissue expander to increase available skin, rebuilding their appearance without the massive scarring that typically results from such injuries. In short, tissue expansion has revolutionized reconstructive surgery.
Now tissue expanders of a different kind are being used in Europe and in North America to safely and successfully increase penis length.
A safe, modern solution
Using a tissue expander for several hours each day will result in measurable results in just months. These devices are typically low-profile and fit inconspicuously beneath loose clothing, and can thus be worn during normal, non-physical activities.
Traction devices use the principles that tissue responds to stretching by creating new tissue, not just stretching what is already there. Cell mitosis is the process by which cells divide to reproduce themselves. Traction puts a gentle tension on the penis, pulling the cells apart. This intracellular tension causes the body to undergo cell mitosis and grow new cells to relieve the tension. Your penis actually grows new tissue.
These groundbreaking devices give you absolute control of both the time and amount of tension put on your penis. These devices allow the penis to be enlarged without invasive and potentially damaging surgery. They are the safest, most reliable method to modern penis enlargement.

How safe is it?
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.
Is it medically approved?
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 and X4 Labs 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 and X4 Labs are absolutely safe when used as directed, and can be relied upon to deliver the results quoted.
What about smaller penis size (below 4 inches)?
X4 Labs has developed a penis extender specially to cater for men with penis under 4 inches when soft (before erection). The X4 Labs smaller sized support piece (optional) allows a better fit and improved performance for the extender. The X4 Labs penis extender is the only product catering to smaller sized men and is proven to increase the penis length and girth as much as 35%. Don't worry about outgrowing your penis extender though as they will include the regular size product together with your order!
