Adiana Permanent Contraception
...a woman's idea of permanent contraception

You know you're done with childbearing. You also know the form of permanent contraception you want - no hormones, no anesthesia and no surgery.

With Adiana Permanent Contraception, you'll never have to worry about birth control again.

Adiana Permanent Contraception is a safe, simple, minimally invasive procedure that permanently prevents pregnancy. It works by stimulating your body's own tissue to grow in and around tiny, soft inserts that are placed inside your fallopian tubes.

Why choose Adiana Permanent Contraception?

• It's permanent
• It's safe
• It's effective
• It uses no hormones or drugs
• It's a simple procedure with a quick recovery
• It leaves nothing in the uterus that might limit future gynecologic procedures

The Adiana procedure is safe, simple and effective.

The Adiana procedure does not cut through the skin. The entire procedure typically takes less than 12 minutes. Most women in the clinical trial reported little or no pain, and returned to their regular activities within a day.

Once your tubes are completely blocked, Adiana Permanent Contraception is comparable to tubal ligation, or "having your tubes tied," in preventing pregnancy.

A slender, flexible instrument is passed through the body's natural openings to deliver a low level of energy to a small section of each fallopian tube. A tiny, soft insert is placed in each of your fallopian tubes, right where the energy was applied.

How does Adiana Permanent Contraception work?

Adiana Permanent Contraception works by stimulating your body's own tissue to grown in and around tiny, soft inserts that are placed inside your fallopian tubes.

After the Adiana procedure, new tissue will grow in and around the Adiana inserts. After 3 months, the Adiana HSG (hysterosalpingogram) Confirmation Test is performed to confirm your tubes are completely blocked. You must use an alternate form of birth control during these 3 months. Once your tubes are completely blocked, sperm can no longer reach the eggs released by your ovaries and you can rely on Adiana for birth control.

Over the next 3 months, your body's own tissue grows in and around the Adiana inserts. This completely and permanently blocks the fallopian tubes.
