A traction ring for use in a penile implant procedure can include a plurality of elastic sutures. Each elastic suture can have an elastic body with an attachment loop at one end and an adhesive pad at the opposed end. The attachment loop allows for positioning of the elastic suture at any of a plurality of available attachment grooves located about a perimeter of the traction ring. The adhesive pad is generally attached to penis proximate the penis tip. Adhesive pad can be bonded to the penis with a suitable skin adhesive. The skin adhesive can be contained within a reservoir on the adhesive pad. Alternatively, the adhesive pad can be separated from the elastic body. A removal solvent can be applied to dissolve or otherwise break down the skin adhesive following completion of an implant procedure.
