Contraception could be so simple.
Reversible
Male contraception quite often means getting a vasectomy. It's a difficult decision to make. What if you're not quite finished planning your family? With us, there's no need to ask this question. The Bimek SLV allows you to be sterile when you want to. The switch that toggles your fertility is controlled by you. You decide.
Hormone free
Taking hormones year after year? This burdens your body and often results in side-effects. So many women would rather not go through this. They don't want to disrupt or imbalance the nature of their bodies and they don't have to. Thanks to the Bimek SLV the female body can maintain its natural order and rhythm. Hormonal treatments belong in the past.
Uncomplicated
Can contraception really be that simple? Yes! It can. With just a push of a button, everything is taken care of. You're sterile and pregnancy is impossible. Another push of that same button and you're fertility is restored. From the first ejaculation you'll already be releasing sperm cells and can make a planned pregnancy a reality. Then simply close the SLV and by the time your child is born you'll be sterile again. It doesn't get simpler than this.
Lifelong
Half way through and searching for condoms? Need to insert your diaphragm? Forget to take the pill? Is your fertility window really over? What if you could simply forget about contraception? We want you to be able to concentrate on what's important, spending time together without having to worry about contraception. To simply let go and enjoy.

Implant materials
The Bimek SLV is almost exclusively made of the implant material PEEK Optima, which has excellent technological and biological compatibility properties. It is radiolucent, biocompatible and durable.
No wear and tear
PEEK Optima has been used in implant surgeries for years and has proved itself with its excellent properties and exceptional durability. The Bimek SLV is not made of abrasive materials, such as silicone.
Anti-allergenic
Thanks to the implant materials used, the Bimek SLV is completely safe for people with allergies. The valve is not made of any nickle-containing materials. It will not secrete any allergy aggravating substances. There are absolutely no deteriorating or adverse effects on sperm cells or genetic material.
100 % vegan
No animals were experimented on throughout the development of the Bimek SLV. In fact the inventor implanted the valve into his own body for the trial run. The Bimek SLV is also tested exclusively on volunteers. The Bimek SLV is made 100% vegan.
“The perfect development, elaborate detail and tailored functionality of the spermatic duct valve, by Clemens Bimek, represents an impressive step forward for contraception and should be regarded as a medical breakthrough.”

Process
Your check up
As with all surgical procedures, a detailed medical examination is required before you can have the Bimek SLV implanted. After an EKG, you will have an extensive consultation with one of our specially trained urologists, in order to rule out possible abnormalities or other contraindications. Then, once any and all questions you may have are answered, we can proceed with the surgery.
The outpatient surgery
The Bimek SLV surgery takes 30 minutes and is performed under local anaesthesia. Each spermatic duct is transected, then the newly cut ends are connected to the valve casing using specially developed instruments. The spermatic ducts are then put back into the scrotum and the inner and outer dermal layers are sealed – then you can head home.
Your follow up exam
The Bimek SLV is implanted in its open state. After the valve is closed there will still be sperm cells present in your ejactulatory fluids for up to 3 months or about another 30 ejactulations. To be completely sure of sterility it is essential that you undergo a sperm analysis, or spermiogram, with a urologist. This is the only way to be 100 % sure.
Your personal upgrade
Three to six months after the Bimek SLV is closed – there’s no longer a need to worry about contraception. What happens then? What happens when hormonal treatments no longer influence the libido? When there’s no need to stop halfway to look for a condom? It’s simple. The answer is – fun, a lot of fun.
FAQ
Surgery
The Bimek SLV is implanted during an outpatient surgery, in which each spermatic duct is fitted with a valve. The surgery lasts 30 minutes and is similar to a vasectomy. The recovery period is only one day. Find further questions and answers about the Bimek spermatic duct valve implant surgery here.
Anatomy
The functionality of the testicles are of utmost importance to reproduction. They produce several million sperm cells on a daily basis. They are also responsible for the production of testosterone. Read more about the inner workings of the male anatomy and the properties of the Bimek SLV here.
Function
You won’t feel it, you may even forget you’re wearing it. Simply enjoy your life. Playing sport, or having sex – you won’t even think about it. Only when you need to, you can find the tiny valve in your scrotum and press the switch. Read more about the everyday functionality of the valve here.
