The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has put $ 100,000 behind enquiry into using ultrasound as a irregular contraceptive for hands . If successful , it would be a mean value to furnish low - price , non - hormonal birth control for up to six months .
The idea is that a well - order round of ultrasound discussion would be enough to contain sperm product for six months , interpret the issue temporarily unfertile . More clinical trial are needed , to achieve “ maximum force and safety ” ( I should go for so ) , but finally the method could be a non - incursive vasectomy choice . Even better , it could be rolled out across both underdeveloped and first - world countries .
My shot : the hardest part will be finding clinical trial volunteers . [ BBC ]
