Abstract
Abstract This invention is a device for sterilizing females by occluding the uterotubal junction. The device includes a catheter (20) with a releasable heat generating plug (24) which is used to thermally damage the uterotubal junction, causing it to constrict around the plug after which the plug is released from the catheter, and left in place in the uterotubal junction.
