Non-Invasive Laser Vasectomy
Alternative Name: Non-Invasive Laser Male Sterilization
Description: The application of lasers for noninvasive thermal coagulation and occlusion of the vas.
Product Details
Duration: Permanent
Status Details
Began discovery in: 2009
Status Details: - Laser and cooling parameters for safe noninvasive laser targeting of the vas deferens in a canine model were determined. Short-term, azospermia and re-canalization studies were conducted in a canine pre-clinical model.
