The purpose of this research study is to study an experimental vasectomy device called the Vas-X. This is an experimental study of this new approach to vasectomy.
Condition | Intervention | Phase |

Healthy |
Device: Vas-X |
Phase I |
Study Type: | Interventional |
Study Design: | Prevention, Open Label, Active Control, Single Group Assignment, Safety/Efficacy Study |
Official Title: | Vasectomy With the Vas-X, a Simple, Minimally Invasive Device for Male Sterilization: A Pilot Study |
Enrollment: | 12 |
Study Start Date: | April 2008 |
Estimated Study Completion Date: | September 2009 |
Estimated Primary Completion Date: | September 2009 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure) |
The Vas-X works by stripping the lining of the vas deferens, the tube that sperm pass through during ejaculation. It is used in a way very similar to routine vasectomy, however, in a routine vasectomy, the vas is burned with an electrical device. With the Vas-X, there is no burning. We are testing the Vas-X to determine whether it will offer a better way of performing a vasectomy.
We will conduct this study at the University of Washington Medical Center, Seattle.
