ABSTRACT:
A reversible occlusive device for regulating the flow of the fluid through a body passage and having particular utility in the vas deferens for reversible male sterilization is surgically implanted. The vas is punctured by a micro tool such as a hypodermic needle and then a proximal tube having a shoulder portion and openings on either end is inserted. A second hole is punctured in this body passage at a distance approximately equal to twice that of the length of the shoulder portion of the proximal tube. A distal tube similar in construction to the proximal is then inserted into this puncture along with a closed plug for the prevention of the passage of body fluid. If the individual wants the body passage open, the closed plug is surgically removed and is replaced by an open plug.
