FDA approves home vasectomy kit to test after vasectomy
A new diagnostic device is designed to test sperm count for men after a vasectomy. At the Houston Vasectomy Clinic, we strongly recommend to our patients that they perform a series of checks after a vasectomy to make sure there is no sperm left in your “tubes”.
ContraVac’s new “SpermCheck Vasectomy” test confirms men’s post-vasectomy sterility at home versus returning to a clinic or lab and should be available in Summer 2008.
SpermCheck is the first easy-to-use diagnostic device with the specificity and sensitivity to detect the low numbers of sperm present immediately after vasectomy.
The Houston Vasectomy Clinic requires two post-vasectomy sperm tests to make sure the procedure was effective at blocking all sperm at the vas deferens.
