Contraline’s method involves making a small piercing in the scrotum and using a handheld injector to push the hydrogel through a catheter that’s connected to the vas deferens. The catheter is then taken out, and the puncture heals on its own.

That sounds like a bit more than just an injection. Not quite like going in for a flu shot to the nuts
