About the Essure([R]) Procedure

The Essure([R]) procedure is a permanent birth control method that can be done in the comfort of a physician's office about 13 minutes without hormones, cutting, burning or the risks associated with general anesthesia or tubal ligation. Small, flexible micro-inserts are placed in the woman's fallopian tubes through the cervix without incisions. Over the next three months, the body forms a natural barrier around the micro-inserts to prevent sperm from reaching the egg. Essure is 99.8 percent effective with zero pregnancies reported in clinical trials.

Three months after the Essure procedure, a doctor can perform an Essure Confirmation Test to confirm that the fallopian tubes are fully blocked and that the patient can rely on Essure for permanent birth control with full confidence. Essure was FDA-approved in 2002 and more than 180,000 women worldwide have undergone the Essure procedure.
