Today, patients prefer the no-scalpel technique for vasectomy and many teaching organizations have made it a standard for training physicians and residents. This simple, safe technique carries some significant benefits.

• The small, suture-less wound reduces post-operative swelling.
• It results in almost 10% fewer complications than conventional vasectomy.
• Recovery time is usually shorter, and the healed site is virtually invisible.

The special cantilever design on LiBrand ringed forceps is a critical factor in reducing complications. The ring forceps is locked around the vas extracutaneously, its tips spring slightly apart. As a result, they hold firmly without crushing tissues.
