Abstract

A reversible hysteroscopic contraceptive procedure is disclosed which utilizes a small physical barrier, an obturator, which is lodged into the Pars Uterine Tube of a female to prevent spermatozoa from reaching and fertilizing an egg. The obturator comprises a plurality of spines which hare radially attached to a rotatable spine rod. The spines are extendable for reversible inserting into the Pars Uterine Tube to form a physical barrier blocking the tube. The obturator is further provided with an integrated trap chamber which may trap any ovum or spermatozoa inadvertently penetrating the obturator thereby preventing either fertilization, or implantation in the uterine wall. A hysteroscope is utilized to insert and remove the obturator as required.
