Product known as Adam implanted in sperm ducts could offer a reversible alternative to condoms and vasectomies

An implantable, non-hormonal male contraceptive has been shown in trials to last for at least two years.

The contraceptive, known as Adam, is a water-soluble hydrogel that is implanted in the sperm ducts, preventing sperm from mixing with semen.

The company behind the product, Contraline, says the approach offers a reversible alternative to condoms and vasectomies, with the hydrogel designed to break down in the body after a set period of time, restoring fertility.

Agree with the name thing, especially if it is still popular names. Some old names are cool to use especially if they are not really used anymore, if it has a play on words like Nero burning ROM or Ajax that attacks grease. What name can we use as a play on words for male birth control....
