Abstract
A male contraception apparatus for obtaining temporary sterility of a male mammalian individual is provided. The apparatus comprising an implantable restriction device adapted to restrict vas deference in the region downstream the ampulla during a controlled period, said device thereby being capable of preventing sperms to reach the urethra, a control device for controlling the operation of the restriction device, and at least one implantable sensor adapted to send a measurement or an indication of the measurement to the control device.
Claims17
A male contraception apparatus for obtaining temporary sterility of a male mammalian individual comprising:
- an implantable restriction device adapted to restrict vas deference in the region downstream the ampulla during a controlled period, said device thereby being capable of preventing sperms from reaching the urethra,
- a control device for controlling the operation of the restriction device, wherein the control device comprises an external control unit intended to be outside the patient's body for controlling the restriction device, and
- at least one implantable sensor adapted to send a measurement or an indicator of the measurement to the external control unit, wherein the sensor directly or indirectly senses at least one functional parameter of a medical implant related to one of:
- a current state of the battery, an energy consumption, a voltage, or a temperature.
A male contraception apparatus for obtaining temporary sterility of a male mammalian individual comprising:
- an implantable restriction device adapted to restrict vas deference in the region downstream the ampulla during a controlled period, said device thereby being capable of preventing sperms from reaching the urethra,
- a control device for controlling the operation of the restriction device, wherein the control device comprises an external control unit intended to be outside the patient's body for controlling the restriction device, and
- a stimulation device for stimulating a wall portion of the tissue wall of vas deference in the region downstream the ampulla to contract said wall portion to influence the flow in vas deference.
