The Penis Project Podcast: Breaking Taboos in Men’s Sexual Health

194: Comfort Grip for Peyronie’s Disease – Inventor Richard Shares His Story


Listen Later

In this episode of The Penis Project Podcast, Melissa chats with Richard, an entrepreneur and Peyronie’s disease patient who turned personal frustration into innovation. After struggling with pain and slippage while using the Restorex traction device for Peyronie’s treatment, Richard took matters into his own hands—literally—and developed a more comfortable alternative: the Comfort Grip

Richard shares his journey from diagnosis to design, including his extensive research, collaboration with other Peyronie’s specialists, and the trial-and-error process of product development. His invention aims to improve comfort, reduce prep time, and enhance treatment outcomes for men using penile traction therapy. 

The Comfort Grip is designed to replace the standard Restorex clamp with a soft, adjustable, non-painful grip, offering ease of use and compatibility with both circumcised and uncircumcised users. This episode is a must-listen for men with Peyronie’s disease and anyone supporting someone on their penile rehabilitation journey.
