Fallopian Tube Occlusion Devices And Methods
US Patent:
2007005, Mar 15, 2007
Filed:
Sep 15, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/227873
Inventors:
Hugh McSwain - San Francisco CA, US
International Classification:
A61F 6/06
US Classification:
128831000
Abstract:
A contraceptive device for placement in a fallopian tube includes expanding distal and proximal anchor members and an expandable elongate member connecting the distal anchor member to the proximal anchor member. An expandable material is disposed on at least a portion of the contraceptive device, whereupon delivery of the contraceptive device, the expandable material expands to completely occlude the fallopian tube. The expandable material may contain a drug, therapeutic agent, or hormone which is released over time to occlude or otherwise prevent the passage of spermazoa through the fallopian tube, or prevent ovulation. The contraceptive device may be delivered non-operatively and provide complete sterilization within a period of days. The device and delivery method obviates the need for follow-up visits to confirm closure of the fallopian tubes.
