Safe, Effective Birth Control
Vasectomy is one of the safest and most effective methods of permanent birth control. It is much safer and less expensive than the other most common contraceptive surgery, tubal ligation. For these reasons, 500,000 men in North America choose Vasectomy each year.
- No-Scalpel Vasectomy
A safer, less invasive procedure, the No-Scalpel Vasectomy (NSV) reduces vasectomies already low complication rate. Developed in China in 1974, it differs from conventional vasectomy in how the two vas deferens (vasa) are reached. Worldwide, more than 15 million men have had the procedure.
Benefits of NSV
- Less Discomfort
- 10 Times Fewer Complications
- No Stitches or Sutures Needed
- Quick Recovery
- No Incision
- Faster Procedure
- Just as Effective as a Regular Vasectomy
No-Scalpel Vasectomy requires no scalpel. Instead, the physician avoids complex surgery by carefully isolating the vas deferens using the fingers of one hand. The vasa are then fixed just below the scrotal skin. A single small opening in the skin is made with a pointed forceps. The vasa are then delivered through the skin, cut , and sealed in a conventional way. When the operations complete, no sutures are need to close the tiny opening.
- No-Needle Anesthesia
The No-Needle version of NSV was developed in recent years and has already been used in thousands of vasectomies with superb results. No-Needle NSV uses an advanced technique to anesthetize the scrotum without needles. A spray injector administers four to six small burst of anesthesia. Patients feel only at most mild discomfort similar to having a weak rubber band snapped on the skin.
