Wearable ED Device: Vertica & VerticaPlus Radiofrequency (RF) Therapy by OhhMed

9 min readBy Leeds Pharmacy Team

If you've been searching for a wearable ED device that treats erectile dysfunction without pills, injections, or surgery, you're not alone. Millions of men are now turning to innovative at-home devices that address the root causes of erection problems rather than just masking symptoms.

In this comprehensive guide, we'll explore how wearable ED devices work, with a specific focus on the Vertica RF therapy system—a clinically proven device with an 85% success rate that you can use in the comfort of your own home. We'll cover everything from how to wear it, the science behind it, and what results you can realistically expect.

What is a Wearable ED Device?

A wearable ED device is a medical device designed to be worn on or around the penis to treat erectile dysfunction. Unlike oral medications that provide temporary effects, wearable devices aim to restore natural erectile function by addressing underlying physiological issues.

Types of Wearable ED Devices

  • Radio-Frequency (RF) devices: Like Vertica, use heat-based therapy to stimulate collagen regeneration
  • Vacuum erection devices (VEDs): Create negative pressure to draw blood into the penis
  • Constriction rings: Help maintain erections by restricting blood flow out
  • Shockwave devices: Use acoustic waves to improve blood vessel function

The key advantage of modern wearable ED devices like Vertica is that they target the root causes of erectile dysfunction—damaged collagen and poor blood circulation—rather than just providing temporary symptom relief.

Vertica & VerticaPlus by OhhMed: The Leading Wearable RF Device

Vertica and VerticaPlus are MHRA-approved wearable ED devices that use advanced Radiofrequency (RF) technology to treat erectile dysfunction at home. Developed and manufactured by OhhMed Medical Ltd, these RF therapy devices have been used by over 8,000 men worldwide with over 400,000 radiofrequency treatments delivered.

Important Clarification: Vertica uses Radio-Frequency (RF) technology which generates controlled heat. This is different from acoustic shockwave therapy which uses sound waves. Both are effective new ED treatments, but they work through completely different mechanisms.

How to Wear the Vertica ED Device

Understanding how to properly wear your wearable ED device is crucial for optimal results. The Vertica system has been designed for ease of use and comfort during treatment sessions.

Step-by-Step Wearing Instructions

1

Prepare the Device

Ensure your Vertica device is fully charged. Connect to the smartphone app via Bluetooth to monitor your treatment session and track progress over time.

2

Position the Device

Place the Vertica wearable ED device around your penis while in a flaccid state. The device includes an adjustable strap system that ensures proper contact with the penile tissue for effective RF energy delivery.

3

Secure Comfortably

Adjust the straps for a snug but comfortable fit. The device should make good contact with your skin without causing any discomfort or restriction. You should be able to relax during the treatment.

4

Start Treatment

Begin your 30-minute treatment session via the app. You'll feel a gentle warming sensation as the RF energy works. You can sit, lie down, watch TV, read, or work on your laptop during treatment.

5

Complete Session

The device will automatically complete the session. Remove, clean with the provided wipes, and store safely. The app tracks your treatment history and progress.

Treatment Schedule for Optimal Results

  • Initial phase (weeks 1-8): 3-4 sessions per week
  • Maintenance phase: 1-2 sessions per week
  • Session duration: 30 minutes each
  • Best time: Evening or whenever you can relax for 30 minutes

How the Wearable ED Device Works: The Science

Understanding the science behind wearable ED devices helps explain why they're so effective. The Vertica device uses Radio-Frequency (RF) technology—the same technology used in medical aesthetics for skin tightening and rejuvenation.

The Root Cause of Erectile Dysfunction

As we explained in our guide to ED in medical terminology, erectile dysfunction often stems from vascular issues. The most common cause is weakened collagen in the tunica albuginea—the fibrous tissue that surrounds the corpora cavernosa and "locks in" blood during an erection.

The Vertica RF Therapy Process

1. Controlled Heat Generation

The device emits Radio-Frequency energy that gently heats penile tissue to 40-42°C—the optimal temperature for triggering the body's natural healing response.

2. Collagen Stimulation

This controlled heating stimulates fibroblasts (collagen-producing cells) to generate new, stronger collagen fibres. This process is called neocollagenesis.

3. Tissue Remodelling

Over weeks of treatment, the new collagen strengthens the tunica albuginea, improving its ability to trap blood during erection and maintain rigidity.

4. Improved Blood Flow

RF therapy also promotes angiogenesis (new blood vessel formation) and improves endothelial function, enhancing blood flow to the penis.

5. Restored Natural Function

The result is restored natural erectile function—spontaneous, lasting erections without needing pills or other interventions before intimacy.

This mechanism directly addresses what we described in our men's erection health guide—the physiological requirements for achieving and maintaining erections.
