A medical agency’s plan to revolutionise contraception by heating up males’s testicles has flopped after backers price GBP 1 million pulled out.
Inventors Niklas Grohs and Rolf Tobisch say their ‘Cocoon’ machine heats up males’s testes to 41.4 levels Celsius earlier than intercourse, paralysing their sperm.
The pair launched their weird machine on Germany’s model of TV’s ‘Dragons’ Den’ (‘Die Hoehle der Loewen’; ‘The Lions’ Den’ in English) to the baffled reactions of potential traders.
Images of the prototype make it appear to be some type of eye-watering torture machine.
Two egg-shaped clamps held along with nuts and bolts seem to include heating parts like an electrical sandwich toaster.
When they’re mounted across the wearer’s testes and plugged into the mains, a present heats them up apparently immobilising the person’s sperm for a number of weeks.
The inventors billed it as “a worldwide sensation for the contraceptive market” and say human trials on 4 topics have had a 100 per cent success price.
They informed the present, they wanted EUR 1.2 million to see them by medical trials and growth that would take practically three years earlier than it reaches the outlets.
But all 4 Dragons turned down the possibility to safe a 25 per cent stake within the enterprise.
Grohs stated after the present: “I discovered the suggestions so genuine, I didn’t anticipate that.
“For us, that doesn’t mean that we stop now. On the contrary, it rather encourages me!”
