Our story

Ben Bonthuys, a hydrological engineer, applied his unique expertise to a deeply personal problem: erectile dysfunction (ED). Recognizing the mechanics of blood flow involved in achieving an erection, he envisioned a solution that harnessed the power of vacuum technology.


Inspired by historical accounts of vacuum therapy, Ben embarked on a journey to create a user-friendly and effective device. Countless hours of experimentation, fueled by his personal experience and a healthy dose of practicality, led to the birth of the Vacurect.This elegantly engineered device offered a non-invasive, drug-free alternative for men seeking to achieve firm and lasting erections. Lightweight, easy to clean, and simple to operate, the Vacurect quickly gained popularity.


Ben's dedication to creating a high-quality, affordable solution involved collaboration with top South African universities and even the state-owned defense technology company. The rise of open conversations around ED, spurred by the introduction of Viagra, further propelled the Vacurect's success.Though Ben sadly passed away in 2005, his legacy lives on. His wife Rentia, with the help of dedicated partners, continues to manufacture and distribute the Vacurect globally from their home office in Pretoria. This remarkable small business success story is a testament to Ben's ingenuity and his commitment to improving men's health.
