CAT II Q DEVICE - INSTALLATION
Your CAT II Q device will arrive with all of the parts shown above in the photos...silicone pusher, silicone outer cone, blue plastic puller, two rods (3" length and 4-1/2" length), collet that sits inside the "neck" of the puller, rubber end cap, and metal split ring. Your CAT device will arrive with the shorter rod installed, but you can easily swap it out for the longer rod when you are ready.
To apply the CAT II Q, position the silicone pusher against the glans, and roll the shaft skin over the blue puller. Secure the skin in place with the silicone outer cone. Here, it might work best for you, to invert the outer cone beforehand and after the skin is in place on the puller, position the cone on the puller neck and snap it back into the correct position over the skin. At this point, the cone can be lifted slightly to allow evening of the skin under the outer cone. Proper installation will have about 3/8"- 1/2" of skin captured under the outer cone.
After applying the CAT II Q, grasp the puller by the neck and slide the puller up the tensioner rod to the desired position while holding a little pressure on the end of the rod. Be careful not to stretch the skin too much. There should be no pain involved with restoring. If you feel pain, remove the device and try again after repositioning the skin. Gentle tension is all that is needed. Don't try to rush the process. To compress the CAT II Q, hold the tensioner rod end and with thumb and forefinger push the collet in to meet the puller flange. In some cases, to reduce tension or remove the CAT II Q, a little pull on the puller neck will be needed for the collet to release easily. This will release the grabber function and allow the puller to slide back toward the pusher (collapsed).
To remove the CAT II Q, I recommend lifting the outer cone to release the skin.
CAT II Q Installation Instructions
Installing the CAT II Q foreskin restoration aid is basically like any other tapeless tugger. The foreskin has to be caught between the plastic puller portion and the outer silicone cone. Once this is done, the tensioner can be gently increased to promote growth of the foreskin. The skin can't be stretched for the final result; it must grow through gentle tension.
The CAT II Q consists of a pusher to go against and push the glans, a puller for attaching to and pulling the foreskin, and a tensioner rod for adjusting the distance between the pusher and puller, thus adjusting the tension.
At this point, before installing, examine the operation of the CAT II foreskin restoration aid to see how it's going to function when installed.
The first step is to start with the tensioner rod all the way out, so that the pusher and puller are together. The second step is to place the pusher against the glans (illustration #1) and pull the skin as far over the device as possible while pushing in on the device (illustration #2). If your skin is too short, tape may be needed, for a time, to effectively lengthen the surface to be caught. You can also continue with manual methods until you have achieved enough loose skin to use the CAT device.
With one hand holding the skin in place, slide the cone over the skin and release. At this point the skin should be caught between the puller and the outer cone which will hold the skin in place on the CAT II Q (illustration #3).
If your skin is short and it's difficult to get the cone over it try inverting the cone and then snapping it back to right side out over the skin. If slight adjustments need to be made (a bit less skin caught on this side or that) now is the time to do it. Just work the skin out a bit at a time until it looks even. If you lose the grip, simply start over. It will become easy with practice.
Once the cone is in place, tighten the tensioner to a comfortable point (illustration #4). I would suggest, if wearing briefs, to leave the end protrude between your leg and the elastic leg band.
To make it a tugger, thread the metal split ring through the hole in the rod and hook to something with a rubber band or something stretchy. Also, it can be worn as a tugger with an attachment to the leg.
An optional base ring might be used at the base of the penis to prevent scrotal stretch (illustration #5). We don't sell the rings here, but adjustable rings that are meant to aid with erectile dysfunction will also help to hold the scrotal skin back. You can find them online.
If there is a problem with the outer silicone cone slipping, it's most likely because you are trying to use too much tension, the skin is a bit oily or there wasn't enough skin under the cone to start with. Wipe the oil off of the skin and cone with some rubbing alcohol.
DO NOT try wearing the CAT during sleep as nocturnal erections will have no room for expansion.
