METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TRANSCERVICAL REVERSIBLE CORNUAL STERILIZATION

摘要

A contraceptive device for transcervical reversible cornual sterilization includes an implant portion configured for implanting into the patient's uterine myometrium at a uterine cornu and circumscribing the fallopian tube's opening and a cap portion removably connected to the implant portion. The cap portion has an impermeable membrane substantially impermeable to the passage of reproductive cells, wherein when the implant portion is implanted into the uterine myometrium near the fallopian tube opening circumscribing the fallopian tube opening, the cap portion occludes the fallopian tube.
