British scientists proposed a new method of non-surgical sterilization without surgery, anesthesia or other form of anesthesia. The operation can be performed on an outpatient basis and has a minimal risk.

Most women who want to undergo sterilization undergo a surgical operation, during which the mother tubes are bandaged. The operation requires a postoperative period of 4-6 days.

The new method is based on the Conceptus device, which is a miniature ring that is inserted into the lumen of the fallopian tubes using a thin catheter.

The device operates on the basis of the formation of connective tissue around the ring. In order for the device to start working, it should take 3 months.

According to the senior researcher Dr. Justin Clarke, the method is very simple and effective, effectively prevents pregnancy and relieves a woman from having to go to hospital, undergo surgery and undergo anesthesia.

A study of 112 women showed that the successful placement of the device was achieved at 92% and was optimal at 88%. Side effects were observed in 5% of cases, were temporary and passed in 4 hours.

A survey among women who completed the procedure indicated that most women considered the procedure to be "completely satisfactory".
