No SNIP Vasectomy

We have trademarked our technique with the US patent office. No SNIP is an acronym meaning that there is no scalpel, no needle, no incision and no pain. There is no pain.

Our technique is different from a conventional vasectomy in the way it is performed surgically.

In a conventional vasectomy, the physician may make one or two small cuts in the skin with a knife, and the doctor would then use sutures or stitches to close these cuts at the end of the procedure.

In the No SNIP vasectomy, instead of making two incisions, we make only one tiny puncture into the skin with a special instrument.

After administering the local anesthetic to the scrotal skin with a needleless device, a special vas-fixation clamp is used to firmly secure the vas. The scrotal skin is then punctured with a sharp instrument. The size of the puncture is a few millimeters. The puncture is then spread to enlarge much like spreading apart the weaves of fabric. The vas is thus exposed and then lifted out. A small piece of vas deferens is cut, the two ends are cauterized and occluded and finally separated by a layer of fascial tissue. The skin wound contracts to a few millimeters and usually does not require suturing.

Reasons for having a No SNIP vasectomy as compared to other methods of vasectomy are the following:

1. No use of scalpel needle or incision.
2. No pain.
3. No stitches.
4. Quicker to perform.
5. Quicker and easier recovery.
6. More effective.
7. Lesser chances of complications like bleeding.
