APPARATUS FOR OCCLUDING A FALLOPIAN TUBE
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a medical device for occluding a fallopian tube for contraception and sterilization. The medical device includes an outer member (12), an inner member (14) and a tissue growth member (16). The outer member includes an outer surface (20) and an inner surface (22), wherein the inner surface defines a bore (24) in the outer member. The inner member is configured to be positioned within the bore of the outer member. The tissue growth member is attached to the outer surface of the outer member and is configured to induce tissue growth thereto. With this arrangement, the medical device can be implanted within the fallopian tube and serve as an occluding device therein. If desired, the medical device can be partially removed from the fallopian tube to restore the ability for conception.
