What complications did mr. bimek experience so far with the slv?
what kind of complications are expected to possibly be an issue?
what kind of tests does the clinical trial involve?
will there be several test groups, or will all volunteers do the trial at about the same time?
how many people will take part in the study?
Hello CS
1. Clemens Bimek can’t tell of any complications so far. When he first got the SLV implanted, he did have complications, what made him develop the next generations of SLVs (you can read that on our blog, he wrote about it). Since he has had implanted the 3 type of SLV, he has never had any problems like switching the valves or anything like that.
2. Since CB has never had any problems with his SLVs, we can’t say, what complications there can be, besides the possible complications after the operation. You’ll find more answers to that in our FAQs.
3. During the clinical trials the volunteers will do several spermiograms to check, if they are sterile, when the SLV is closed and if there are fertile, if it’s open.
4. There will be different groups of volunteers.
5. Currently we are looking for 25 to 50 volunteers.
