Successful IVD implantation with vas deferens occlusion at 6 and 24 months post-implant.
The IVD consists of a tubular silicone plug that is inserted into the lumen of the vas deferens to block the flow of semen.
IVD implantation does not require the need to sever or permanently damage the vas deferens like the Ligation/Excision, Clip devices, Cautery
techniques or Fascial Interposition require. One major advantage of the IVD is that it
does not require excision and removal of a portion of the vas. Implantation of the IVD
allows the vas deferens to remain intact and not be permanently damaged.
