About Adiana Permanent Contraception
The newest development in permanent contraception
Adiana Permanent Contraception is a safe, simple, minimally invasive procedure that can be performed in your office. This innovative, hormone-free procedure eliminates the need for incisions, general anesthesia, and lengthy hospital stays in fact, patients are typically back to normal activities within a day.
A life-time of protection in under 12 minutes*
The Adiana RF Generator, also known as the Procedure Guidance System (PGS), walks you through the simple and easy to learn procedure. It can be safely performed in an a hospital or in your office in less than 12 minutes using only a local anesthetic. A soft, biocompatible silicone matrix is hysteroscopically positioned in the patient's fallopian tube, creating a permanent barrier within 3 months. The silicone matrix does not carry the risk of chronic inflammation or painful perforations.1
* The average procedure time from hysteroscope insertion to removal was 11 minutes and 45 seconds in the pivotal clinical trial.
No looking back
Adiana Permanent Contraception is the only non-surgical, non-hormonal option that leaves nothing in the uterus. This helps minimize interference with future diagnostic or therapeutic procedures, including endometrial biopsy, D&C, MRI, and endometrial ablation.
Simply innovative
The Adiana system consists of two single-use, disposable delivery catheters (with implantable silicone matrices) and an RF Generator, also known as the Procedure Guidance System (PGS). In addition to delivering RF energy, the PGS walks you through each step of the procedure.
- Position the Catheter - The catheter is passed hysteroscopically just inside the fallopian tube, eliminating the need for incisions. The Position Detection Array (PDA) located on the catheter tip, alerts the physician when the catheter is in the correct location within the tube.
- Deliver RF Energy - The catheter applies very low-level bipolar radiofrequency (RF) energy (< 3 watts) to create a superficial lesion 1 cm in length and 500 microns in depth within the intramural portion of the fallopian tube. This prepares the fallopian tube to accept the matrix.
- Release the Matrix - The catheter delivers an implantable, silicone polymer, called a "matrix", which remains within the prepared section of the fallopian tube. Tissue will grow into the tribeculated matrix, creating a complete blockage of the fallopian tube.
Repeat the procedure on the contralateral fallopian tube.
