The Pitch
We have devised a way for men to participate in family planning. We are introducing EMIT, an alternative option that is an effectively removable, long-lasting male contraceptive that is non-toxic, non-hormonal, natural, sustainable, and minimally invasive designed for a lifetime of repeatable use.
the Problem
Men have been sidelined, and not given the opportunity to have equal ownership in family planning. In addition, there are no alternative options for male sterilization.
Solution
EMIT, a novel male contraceptive which is an injectable hydrogel into the vas deferens that is natural, non-hormonal, removable, minimally invasive, and cost-efficient. EMIT provides two layers of protection. First, a physical barrier plugging the vas deferens, for up to two years to block sperm. While the second is an encapsulated drug deactivating sperm making it immobile. The blocked sperm will break down and be reabsorbed by the body. EMIT can be easily removed at any time.
