Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Devices - ADAM System

Experimental: ADAM System - All subjects who consent and meet inclusion and none of the exclusion will be enrolled and receive the ADAM System, which is a hydrogel device implanted into the vas deferens.


Treatment: Devices: ADAM System
The ADAM System consists of an injectable hydrogel and delivery apparatus that is intended to provide long-lasting, non-permanent vasal occlusion for men, resulting in azoospermia. ADAM is designed to be inserted into the vasa deferentia through a minimally invasive procedure, similar to the no-scalpel vasectomy.
