The device will enable men to test their post-vasectomy fertility status at home rather than requiring the patient to return to the physician’s office or a laboratory. Physicians will be able to provide SpermCheck Vasectomy to their patients following their vasectomy or men can purchase SpermCheck Vasectomy directly from ContraVac. SpermCheck Vasectomy will be commercially available in the US by summer 2008.
Ed Leary, president of ContraVac said: “The convenience and privacy SpermCheck Vasectomy provides is anticipated to improve the compliance rate for post-vasectomy sperm testing, resulting in fewer unwanted pregnancies and providing greater peace of mind.”
