Description

The current state of the art only offers very limited possibilities contraception, thus contraception for men who also considerable Disadvantages:

Condom:

• - points a relatively high one Failure rate on what can be attributed to the fact that it slipped unnoticed or tear can make it vulnerable against application errors is that there are serious material errors can have and that it is in combination with certain externally applied chemical contraceptives damaged can be.
• - It interferes in the sexual act and thereby often hinders a satisfactory Lovemaking.

Sterilization:

• - is Although very safe, it has the major disadvantage that it does not assumed their reversibility can be.

Hormone preparations for Procreation prevention:

• - become Although researched, they are not yet mature enough to be on the Market available to be.

Prevention of exit of fertile sperm by intervention in the scrotum:

• - The in India, the RISUG method, still in the experimental stage, at the one inserted into the scrotum Substance that deactivates sperm seems basically Prospects for future However, according to press reports, having applicability has the disadvantages an invasive surgical procedure, the side effect of testicular swelling as well as risks such as infections, hematomas, injuries to the environment, more permanent Sterilization and above all a possible, suddenly occurring ineffectiveness. Seen in this way this method is probably more of a population policy Pursue goals as such of individual family planning. (Biomedical engineer develops reversible male contraceptive, in: The Times of India, 12/22/1997)

Prevention of exit of fertile sperm by interventions in the urethra:

• - There is both the invention of a so-called "inner condom", as well as the invention of a spray device, with the help of which spermicidal substances are introduced into the urethra from the outside; disadvantageous in both cases is the unpleasant, time-consuming and cumbersome intervention in the urethra before the act of love. ( DE 19704626 A1 . DE 29800103 U1 )

Deactivation of the sperm by electrolysis:

• - There is an invention that deactivates the sperm by means of an electrolysis device inserted into the vas deferens. This has the disadvantages of complex technical equipment and surgical intervention. ( DE 4311812 A1 )

Reactivation of the sperm by ultrasound:

• - The Experiments by Dr. M. Fahin at the University of Missouri, according to Pust 1996 did not lead to results that could already be used. (See. see Pust, Heiko: The Safe Lust, Ritterhude 1996, p. 137 f.)

thermal treatment the testicles through bag constructions:

• - There is the invention of a heated pouch for the scrotum, with which the testicles are heated before the sexual act. The main disadvantage here is that lovemaking must be preceded by time-consuming technical precautions, which impairs spontaneous decision-making. ( DE 29600292 U1 )
• - It there are reports of constantly bag-shaped "testicle warmer" to be carried, which is both hygienic Establish, and should also be unsatisfactory in terms of comfort.  (See. see Pust, Heiko: The Safe Lust, Ritterhude 1996, pp. 122–137)

thermal treatment the testicles through hot water applications:

• - One another method of testicular warming is the so-called "testicular bathing", in which the testicles at regular intervals specially designed chairs to be bathed in warm water. Disadvantages include here the elaborate and time-consuming Procedure, the complicated construction and the risk of scalding. (See Pust, Heiko: ibid.)

thermal treatment the testicles by moving them into the inguinal canals:

• - At least during the daily waxing hours, the testicles pushed back into the inguinal canals become externally fixed in the body kept inside. In this way, the influence of the body's own heat hinders the maturation process of the sperm. This discovery was first described in the international journal of andrology in 1994 and is the result of medical research by Dr. Roger Mieusset and Louis Bujan. (See: Mieusset, Roger and Bujan, Louis: - The potential of mild testicular heating as a safe, effective and reversible contraceptive method for man, in: international journal of andrology; 17: 186-191, 1994 - Testicular heating and its possible contributions to male infertility: a review, in: international journal of andrology; 18: 168-184, 1995). The decisive disadvantage has so far been that no technically sophisticated solution for the implementation device of the contraceptive method has become known. Initially, trials were carried out with tight-fitting underwear that had an opening at the appropriate point. Later it was apparently experimented with rigid rings. (See also Pust, Heiko: loc. Cit., Pp. 134 ff.) However, objects that do not match the shape of the body and the nature of the skin can easily cause abrasion and irritation of the skin. Furthermore, they do not guarantee a perfect fit, so that the testicles can accidentally slip out of the construction and thus impair the desired effect, and restrictions on freedom of movement can easily occur. In particular, there are also no descriptions for suitable holding devices.

The protection claims 1 to 11 specified invention is now based on the problem, a technical mature construction for the latter method of contraception to create both a suitable fixture the testicles in the inguinal canals as well as a convenient mounting option for this device.

This problem is addressed in the protection claim 1 to protection claim 11 listed Features resolved.

The basic model of the described Invention is a loop with a round and a tapered The End; the round end is - by the user seen from above above Penis approach and the tapered end, led backwards, under placed on the lower scrotum.

The variants of this model will be created accordingly.

In particular, here too Holding structures developed through which the loop device can be worn like underwear and with a correct fit, freedom of movement is not restricted.

(In this context, reference should also be made to a French invention from 1938, an orthopedic aid for patients with improper positioning of the testicles, in which a tether system is used, which is similar but not identical, uncomfortably bulky and more unwieldy due to the necessary buttoning operations than otherwise the invention is constructed differently in accordance with the other intended use./République Francaise, BREVET D'INVENTION, Gr. 19.–Cl. 2., N ° 844.067; FR 844 067 )

With the present invention accomplished that for the contraceptive method described for the first time a complete and sophisticated technical construction is developed that the basis for can form the manufacture of the required products.

• – Sie ist nach den oben zitierten Forschungsergebnissen sehr sicher und ihre Wirksamkeit, also die Deaktivierung der Spermien, kann jederzeit mit Hilfe eines Mikroskops kontrolliert werden.

• – Sie ist mit minimalem Aufwand und ohne lästige Begleiterscheinungen durchzuführen.
• – Die Vorrichtung muss während der Nachtruhe nicht getragen werden und sie schränkt das Liebesspiel nicht ein, da sie währenddessen nicht getragen werden muss.
• – Es liegen dieser Methode überzeugende medizinische Untersuchungen zugrunde.

This has developed a practical contraceptive technique for men, which has the following advantages:

• - According to the research results cited above, it is very safe and its effectiveness, i.e. the deactivation of the sperm, can be checked at any time with the aid of a microscope. The effects of application errors, to which she is already very resistant, can be checked before the sexual act, so that other contraceptive methods can be used.
• - According to the research results cited above, it is reversible.
• - According to the research results cited above, it is harmless to health. (There may be health implications for use by adolescents whose physical growth has not yet been completed.)
• According to the current knowledge, it is free from undesirable side effects.
• - It is a "gentle" method that does not require invasive procedures.
• - It does not require any heating devices because it uses the body's own heat.
• - Depending on the need for safety, it can be combined with other contraceptive methods.
• - It can be carried out with minimal effort and without any annoying side effects.
• - The device does not have to be worn during the night and does not restrict lovemaking, since it does not have to be worn during this time.
• - This method is based on convincing medical examinations.

According to the current state of knowledge, this seems to be a method of contraception that all other existing contraception methods, at least those for men.

However, it should be noted that the sperm maturation time is about 3 months. The protective effect occurs ie after about three months after starting use; in the In the meantime, another type of contraception must be used.

An advantageous embodiment and Optimization of those described in the protection claims 1 to 11 Method is based on their current reliability through regularly Laboratory tests of semen is additionally checked. This can also be done at home with the appropriate technical equipment the user himself. This way, the highest level of effectiveness achieved.
