Abstract
An ostial occlusion device forms an hermetic seal around the tubal ostium of the uterotubal junction and includes a hub fabricated from a non-porous material having a circumferential edge and upper and lower surfaces. A locator pin is oriented perpendicular to and extends outward from the lower surface of the hub and is insertable into the fallopian tube at the uterotubal junction to center the hub about the tubal ostium. A ring of porous material surrounds the circumferential edge of the hub and includes an exposed lower surface which contacts the tissue surrounding the tubal ostium and receives fibroblast ingrowth to create an hermetic seal around the tubal ostium. This hermetic seal isolates the fallopian tube from the uterine cavity and renders the female reproductive system infertile.
