Vigor 2020: A Breakthrough in Erectile Dysfunction Treatment
On September 19, 2025, the "Guidelines for the Treatment of Male Sexual Dysfunction" edited by the Japanese Society of Sexual Medicine and the Japanese Urological Association officially included "Vigor 2020", a medical device offered by A&H B Co., Ltd., located in Adachi, Tokyo. This landmark recognition signifies a substantial step forward in the treatment landscape for erectile dysfunction (ED) in Japan.
Current Status of Vacuum Erection Devices in Japan
In Japan, vacuum erection devices (VEDs) have evolved significantly since the Japanese Society of Sexual Medicine petitioned the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare to classify them as medical devices. As of October 1, 1998, these devices were classified as medical equipment requiring manufacturing, import, and sales approval from the Health Ministry. The revision of the Pharmaceutical Affairs Law in April 2005 further categorized VEDs as Class II medical devices, meaning that they require sales approval from the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare before they can be marketed.
Vigor 2020's Recognition in the New Guidelines
The inclusion of Vigor 2020 in the new treatment guidelines is a significant milestone for both physicians and patients. By explicitly naming this vacuum erection device, the guidelines provide healthcare professionals with a trusted option to recommend to patients who may not respond to PDE5 inhibitors. Vigor 2020, which began sales in Japan following its approval by PMDA in 2021, is the only vacuum erection device currently available in Japan.
This explicit mention in the guidelines ensures that doctors can confidently incorporate Vigor 2020 into their treatment plans, thus broadening the scope of available therapeutic options for patients suffering from erectile dysfunction.
Rehabilitation Post-Prostate Cancer Treatment
An important aspect of the newly released guidelines is their mention of the use of vacuum erection devices in penile rehabilitation post-prostate cancer treatment. The guidelines indicate that employing such devices can help prevent fibrosis and atrophy of the penis, a vital point for patient recovery. Vigor 2020 is currently the only vacuum erection device in Japan endorsed for use in rehabilitation therapies. This endorsement supports the implementation of evidence-based practices in the rehabilitation of patients undergoing treatment for prostate cancer.
