I never thought of using a lint roller for that. I thought the pts were supposed to shave before coming to the office for vasectomies.
They are supposed to shave... lol. most don't. Its an inside joke mostly but i would get the job done to pick up all the loose hairs... It really does sit in our surgical drawer, however!... Uro*ma
