Developed in the 1970's, traction devices were developed to regenerate skin cells by applying minute amounts of stress to the body.

There are two commonly used types of traction devices used for penis extenders, the modern 1 inch wide silicone comfort strap and the classic noose.

X4 Labs, a Canadian firm, developed the Hybrid Support Piece System (2-in-1), combining both versions of the penis extender in to one dual use system.

The classic penis extender uses traditional silicone tubing as a method of providing quick and easy adjustments and support by holding the penis body in place.

The modern penis extenders or traction devices use a 1 inch wide silicone comfort strap to gently hug the body of the penis to the device. This unique method provides patients with an increased level of comfort and improved blood circulation, two fundamental factors of the penis enlargement process.

The X4 Labs Hybrid Support Piece System (2-in-1) combined with the spring loaded traction device is designed to cater to both uncircumcised and circumcised men.

Given the importance of comfort and blood circulation on the efficiency of the product, a patient may feel differently about each method of support. Some may feel more long-term comfort with the tube and others with a strap.

Depending on the number of consecutive hours the device is worn, the noose offers quick and easy attachment while the 1 inch wide comfort strap is ideal for longer usage periods.

X4 Labs and their unique Hybrid Support Piece System (2-in-1) offers patients the ability to select which method suits them best.
