Men generally have two contraception methods: condoms and vasectomies. However, biotechnology company Contraline plans to change that with the “world’s first” contraceptive implant for men, Adam, now in Phase 2 of clinical trials.
The contraception is a water-soluble hydrogel that is implanted in the sperm ducts, which prevents sperm from mixing with semen for at least two years. Contraline described it as “like the IUD [intrauterine device], for men.”
