About

The CAT (Constant Applied Tension) device was born in 2002 and has gone through many iterations over the years to arrive at the CAT II Q (2nd generation Quick) design that we are selling today.  From the beginning, our goal was to produce a product that was lightweight enough, compact enough, and easy enough to install and remove to make it practical for long-term everyday use.  We have sold thousands of CATS over the years to men who have wanted to reverse the effects of an unwanted circumcision by using a "hands-free" device so they can go about their day and restore at the same time.

How Does It Work

The CAT II Q creates adjustable tension on the inner and outer foreskin, which triggers new skin cell growth. There is a silicone "pusher" which rests against the glans to keep it stabilized, and there is a plastic "puller" that grabs the foreskin via an outer silicone cone.  In between the pusher and puller is a plastic rod that the puller slides on for adjusting the tension.  With repeated use, the tissue will expand over time and create greater skin coverage over the glans.  When the glans is covered, dekeratinization of the glans skin occurs.  The thicker less sensitive skin that formed on the glans after circumcision will begin to shed, and you will be left with softer, smoother, more sensitive skin.

Who Can Use the CAT II Q

The CAT II Q is intended to be used by circumcised adult men (18 years +) who are interested in getting back a version of their foreskin.  We have also sold to uncircumcised men who wanted to grow extra skin for greater coverage.

The CAT II Q size is a sort of "one size fits most".  The length of the penis is not really a factor when considering if the device will be a good option, but the circumference is important.  If your penis is either very wide or very narrow, this device might not work for you.  The diameter across the base of the CAT puller is 1-3/8".  The pusher will be positioned at the end of the glans, and your loose skin will be pulled down around the edge of the puller and secured with the outer cone.  Since the puller is 1-3/8" across, your skin will need to be able to stretch around something of this diameter easily, without too much struggling.  If you would like to measure, you can use something of the same diameter as the CAT as a measuring tool.  Sometimes pill bottles, eye drop bottles, etc. are of the same diameter, or the cardboard tube from a toilet paper roll will work.  Cut the cardboard roll down the long side and reroll it to a diameter of 1-3/8".  Secure it with a piece of tape and stretch your skin around it.  If your skin will go around comfortably without a large amount of space in between the roll and your skin, then the CAT should work for you.

The CAT device will require some existing loose skin to give the outer cone something to grip onto.  We recommend having at least 3/8" of loose skin to work with.  In other words, when you pull your existing skin down over a flaccid penis, the skin should extend at least 3/8" past the glans for the device to work.  If you are new to restoring and don't have an adequate amount of skin, you can start with manual methods like tugging and/or taping until you are ready for a device.

What's Included in the CAT Kit

Our CAT II Q kit will include everything you need for a restoration.  It will include:

-a silicone pusher (small round silicone push plate that rests at the end of the glans and keeps it stabilized)

-a plastic puller (blue bell-shaped piece that the skin is stretched around)

-silicone outer cone (clear silicone dome that catches the stretched skin and holds it in place while tensioning)

-2 plastic rods, 3" and 4-1/2" (the rod connects the pusher and puller and the puller slides along the rod adjusting the tension)

-collet (white plastic clamp that sits in the top of the puller and grabs the rod to create tension)

-metal split ring (can be threaded through the hole in the end of the rod for optional tugging with weights)

-small white rubber end cap (placed over the end of the rod to keep the rod from snagging on clothes)

We also sell replacement parts for the CAT II Q as well as some optional additional parts.  The additional options are:

- a plastic retainer (looks just like the blue plastic puller on the outside, but on the inside, it is bored out smoothly.  It is used with an outer cone to keep the glans covered and for maintenance of the skin growth that has been achieved.  It will not work with the collet, and will not apply any tension)

_a silicone deep pusher (this replaces the standard pusher that came with your CAT kit.  It is for a more advanced restorer who has more loose skin, but when you are able to use it, it is more efficient and more comfortable to wear)

-a plastic deep pusher (our first deep pusher model made to replace the standard pusher for a more advanced restorer)

How Often Should I Use the CAT

The CAT is meant to be worn every day or as often as you can.  Getting into a good routine is the best way to achieve results.  Give yourself plenty of time without the CAT installed too so your skin can recover. We recommend wearing the CAT II Q for eight hours per day.  You can wear it in one eight-hour block, or it can be broken up into shorter blocks of time.  We also recommend using gentle tension, especially when just starting out.  Too much tension can cause discomfort, device slippage, or micro tears in the skin leading to scar tissue which won't regenerate and expand like normal skin tissue.  If you experience any type of pain while wearing the CAT, remove it immediately.  Restoration should not be a painful process.  Take a break and reinstall.  Never wear the CAT device during sleeping hours.  It may interfere with nocturnal erections and could lead to injury.

How Long Does It Take To Restore

Putting a timeline on someone's restoration is impossible to do.  Everyone is different and so their timeline is different.  So many factors influence progress such as how much skin you were left with after your circumcision, how much coverage you want to achieve, how dedicated you are to using the device each day.  Age and health also play a role.  Young skin grows faster than older skin so someone in their fifties might not see as rapid a result as someone in their twenties.  Please be patient with yourself and don't get discouraged.  Restoring your foreskin is a big commitment that will take time.  Noticeable results can happen pretty quickly, but a full restoration can take two to three years or longer.

Care of the CAT Device

The CAT device should be kept clean and dry.  You can use a mild dish soap, hand soap, shampoo, etc. to clean it, but avoid scrubbing with anything abrasive.  Also avoid using extremely hot water to clean it.  Water that is too hot can break down the outer layer of silicone.
