A novel male contraceptive technique that has long-lasting effects and reversibility like an IUD (intrauterine device) used in women has shown positive results in a human clinical trial.
The new product, named ADAM and developed by Contraline, has a hydrogel insert, which when injected into the sperm duct could reduce sperm motility and concentration similar to that of a vasectomy. However, unlike vasectomy, the contraception is fully reversible.
