Kevin Eisenfrats is developing the ‘male IUD’


Kevin Eisenfrats is the founder of Contraline, a company that has developed male contraceptives. Einsfrats discussed building this company, medical testing for it, and the medical innovation he had to create to make it all possible on TechCrunch's Found podcast.

Kevin Eisenfrats is the founder of Contraline, a company that has developed a male contraceptive in the form of a non-hormonal, sperm-blocking gel that’s injected into the scrotum. Einsfrats was inspired to launch his company after watching the MTV show “16 and Pregnant.” Years later, Contraline’s latest product, ADAM, is entering clinical trials in Australia, a country he says has so far been most receptive to the idea of male contraception. He also spoke about possibly wanting to find ways to use his technology to develop non-hormonal female contraceptives, tackling other sorts of reproductive health issues that remain unsolved.
