Essure Contraceptive

Essure is a permanent form of birth control that is non-surgically implanted into the cervix. The device was developed by a subsidiary of Bayer AG, Conceptus Inc., and was approved by the FDA for use in the United States in 2002. Due its lack of hospital stays, no need for anesthesia, and economic benefits, Essure soon became a leading choice of sterilization for many women.
