Abstract

See full text

An implant configured for insertion and placement within a fallopian tube of a female during a sterilization procedure. The implant includes an implant body having proximal and distal ends and a tether. The tether is attached to the implant body and extends a distance away from the implant body. The tether may be bioabsorbable and/or detachably coupled to the implant body so that the tether can be separated from the implant body without dislodging the implant body from the fallopian tube.
