Adiana Permanent Contraception is a safe, simple, minimally invasive procedure that permanently prevents pregnancy. After placing a small catheter thru the cervix and into the uterus, tiny implants are placed in the fallopian tubes without the need for incisions. Your body's own tissue grows in and around these tiny, soft inserts over a three month period of time. This procedure can be completed in the office without the need for anesthesia, and the entire procedure typically takes less than 15 minutes. Most women in the clinical trial reported little or no pain, and returned to their regular activities within a day. A dye test, called a hystersalpingogram, is done three months post procedure to prove the tubes are blocked. Once your tubes are completely blocked, Adiana Permanent Contraception is comparable to tubal ligation, or "having your tubes tied", in preventing pregnancy.

The Essure procedure is a non-incisional surgical procedure that involves placing a small, flexible device called a micro-insert into each of your fallopian tubes (the tubes your eggs travel through from your ovaries to your uterus). The micro-inserts are made from polyester fibers and metals (nickel-titanium and stainless steel). These materials have been studied and used in the heart and other parts of the human body for many years. Once the micro-inserts are in place, over a three-month period your body tissue grows into the micro-inserts, blocking the fallopian tubes. Blocking the tubes is intended to prevent sperm from reaching and fertilizing the egg, thereby preventing pregnancy.
