Abstract

An instrument is described with which it is possible to deliver low-viscosity material consistently to the interstitial and isthmic portions of the Fallopian tube in a blind fashion on an outpatient basis. Considerable care with instrument design has been taken in order to reduce potential complications and to ensure precision. The efficiency of this system in delivering a variety of dyes has been demonstrated in hysterectomy specimens with the use of laparoscopic control. We believe this system is simple to use and may be found acceptable for application by relatively unskilled personnel. If it produces a high degree of tubal closure without significant complications or pregnancies, it should be an important addition to the techniques for limiting family size and population growth.
