Canadian company awarded $1.4 million US for male contraceptive clinical trial

The 18-month trial by Shepherd Medical Company will conduct semen analysis and study side effects of the Intra Vas Device which is permanently implanted in the vas deferens of the penis to block sperm flow.

The device is a flexible, hollow, silicone plug inserted into the vas deferens tubes, said company co-founder Dr. Neil Pollock in a news release.
