ABSTRACT:
There has been provided a method and apparatus for sterilizing females. Cautery means, vaginally insertable into the fallopian tube of the female, destroys a portion of said mucosal lining at a selected location. An absorbable scarification means and plug means is placed in the fallopian tube at said selected location. As the scarification means is absorbed, the fallopian tube forms scar tissue radially from a muscular layer thereof whereby the fallopian tube is blocked. The plug means blocks peritoneal infiltration of the by-products of cauterization and scarification outside the fallopian tube during the absorption interval.
