<p>The present invention relates to a transcervical electroocclusive sterilization device (16, 17) and methods of using such device. The transcervical electroocclusive sterilization device (16, 17) comprises an electrode member (13) electrically detachably connected to a delivery member (14) and a power generator/controller unit (19). The electrode member is shaped to fit snugly inside a fallopian tube. The electrode member can be monopolar or bipolar. The electrode member has means for electrically and detachably connecting to the delivery member (14). The delivery member (14) generally comprises a handle means (17), an elongated body (16) connected to the handle means, and means for electrically and detachably connecting to the electrode means. Additionally, the delivery member has means for electrically connecting (29) the electrical member to a variable generator of alternating current. The generator/controller unit provides high frequency alternating current to the implantable electrode member via the delivery member. The transcervical electroocclusive sterilization device is used by transcervically inserting the electrode member (13) into a fallopian tube using the delivery member.</p> |
