Constriction rings form an important part of the vacuum constriction device. Once the vacuum cylinder helps achieve erection, the constriction rings are what helps maintain it.  Constriction rings are nothing but bands made of rubber that are worn around the penis to restrict the blood flow out of the penis. When a man becomes sexually aroused, the penis fills with blood which makes it firm enough for intercourse. For someone with ED, the process of blood flow isn’t experienced as normal which leads to soft erections, difficulty in getting an erection or problems maintaining one.
