Reversible male contraceptive implant device

A reversible male birth control device, comprising:

• a tubular component configured for surgical insertion into each severed vas deferens, wherein the proximal and distal ends of each vas deferens are attachable to respective ends of the tubular component;
• a wireless receiver coupled to the tubular component, said wireless receiver configured to operate without metals incompatible with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) imaging and capable of receiving external wireless signals, said signals requiring two or more specific wireless inputs to switch the device between a first state that permits the flow of sperm through the tubular component and a second state that impedes the flow of sperm;
• a switching assembly for switching between the first state and the second state, wherein the mechanism comprises:
• a semi-flexible diaphragm positioned within a dilated portion of the tubular component, said diaphragm being made of a biocompatible material selected from the group consisting of silicon and polytetrafluoroethylene;
• and
• an outlet configured to redirect sperm from the tubular component into the scrotum during the second state, allowing sperm to be safely absorbed by the body's immune system;
• wherein
• the wireless receiver is configured to convert the received wireless signals into electrical and mechanical energy, thereby actuating the switching mechanism without requiring an internal battery;
• and further wherein
• the tubular component is constructed from polytetrafluoroethylene, ensuring compatibility with medical imaging devices and enhancing the biocompatibility of the device.

A method of providing reversible male contraception, comprising:

• surgically implanting a device with a tubular structure in each severed vas deferens such that the proximal and distal ends of each vas deferens are attached to the respective ends of the tubular structure of the device;
• operating a wireless receiver attached to the device to receive external wireless signals, which, in response, switches the device between a first state that permits the flow of sperm through the tubular structure and a second state that inhibits the flow of sperm;
• managing the exit of sperm from the tubular structure into the scrotum through an outlet within the device when the device is in the second state;
• and
• employing a switching assembly within the device, which is actuated by the wireless receiver upon receiving the signals, to facilitate a direct transition between the first and second states.
