About the Essure® Procedure
The Essure procedure, FDA approved since 2002, is the first
permanent birth control method that can be performed in the comfort
of a physician's office in less than 10 minutes (average
hysteroscopic time) without hormones, cutting, burning or the risks
associated with general anesthesia or tubal ligation. Soft,
flexible inserts are placed in a woman's fallopian tubes through
the cervix without incisions. Over the next three months, the body
forms a natural barrier around and through the inserts to prevent
sperm from reaching the egg. Three months after the Essure
procedure, a doctor is able to perform an Essure Confirmation Test
to confirm that the inserts are properly placed and that the
fallopian tubes are fully blocked, allowing the patient to rely
upon Essure for permanent birth control.
The Essure procedure is 99.95% effective based on one year of
follow up with zero pregnancies reported in clinical trials, making
it the most effective form of permanent birth control on the
market. The procedure is covered by most insurance plans, and when
it is performed in a doctor's office the cost to the patient may be
as low as a simple co-pay. Essure has been proven and trusted by
physicians since 2002, with approximately 570,000 women worldwide
having undergone the Essure procedure.
