The trial’s primary objectives focused on the assessment of post-treatment effectiveness, procedural safety, and semen analysis after the procedure.

Dr Matthew Mutter from LSU Medical Center is the principal investigator of the study.

Mutter said: “The Separo system has the potential to improve the vasectomy experience for both patients and physicians significantly.

“To date, I have been impressed with the device’s ease of use, and we expect final results to be available by the end of the year.”

Signati Medical expects to submit the complete data package to the FDA for obtaining approval this year.

Signati Medical CEO William Prentice said: “We are pleased to announce the completion of enrollment for this groundbreaking clinical trial.

“The participation of all eight patients is a testament to the growing interest in faster and potentially less-burdensome vasectomy options.”
