The Essure® Procedure for Permanent Birth Control

The Essure® Procedure for Permanent Birth Control
The Essure micro-inserts are inserted through the
vagina and into the fallopian tubes without incisions.
Upon placement, the Essure micro-inserts expand to fit each
fallopian tube. This helps to hold the micro-inserts in place
while a tissue barrier forms.
During the 3 months after the Essure procedure, tissue grows into
the Essure micro-inserts to form a natural, permanent barrier.
The Essure Confirmation Test is performed after 3 months.
Dye is inserted into the uterus and an x-ray is taken to confirm
that the tubes are blocked and that reliance on Essure
for permanent birth control can begin.
