The disclosure relates to a vas deferens valve for contraception for use in a man and for implanting in the vas deferens within the scrotum, enabling the regulating of sperm flow in the vas deferens. There is a manually activated rocker switch which can be activated through the skin of the scrotum and which has a through-channel which, in the opened state, leads from a valve connection piece on the testicular vas deferens to a valve connection piece on the abdominal end of the vas deferens and, in the closed valve state, can be blocked on the end of the through-flow channel which faces the abdominal vas deferens end. The valve additionally has at least one outlet channel which, in the closed state of the valve, leads from the valve connection piece on the testicular end of the vas deferens out of the valve to the outside in the body of the man.

Implantable tube valve for implanting in a human vessel, comprising a tube, having an inner and outer tube wall extending between two axial tube ends and comprising a valve member, connected to a pivot shaft supported by the tube, with the valve member pivotable between an open position and a closed position and comprising an actuator mechanism, mounted on the outer In tube wall and comprising a pivot member, arranged for driving the pivot shaft from the outer tube wall by an actuation force from the actuator mechanism and comprising at least one biasing element, connected to the pivot member and arranged for preloading the pivot member to bistably bias the valve member towards the open or closed position, wherein the pivot member is substantially curved, having a curvature following a contour of the inner tube wall to limit a lateral extension of the implantable tube valve.

The present invention introduces a groundbreaking solution in the field of male contraception-a reversible male birth control implant device. The device offers enhanced flexibility in family planning by controlling the amount of sperm ejaculated. It consists of a tubular component surgically inserted into each severed vas deferens, with a wireless receiver attached. The wireless receiver receives external wireless signals and enables the device to switch between a state that permits the flow of sperm and a state that impedes it. The device also features an outlet for the safe elimination of obstructed sperm. The use of biocompatible materials and compatibility with medical imaging devices, such as MRI, ensures safety and usability. This innovative device empowers individuals with convenient and discreet control over their fertility, revolutionizing male contraception and opening new possibilities in reproductive health.
