Abstract
A method of female sterilization comprising the steps of providing a toxic fluid capable of damaging the fallopian tubes which leads to their ultimate occlusion, injecting the fluid into the uterine cavity of the female, and vibrating the fluid within the uterine cavity. Preferably, the fluid is vibrated at ultrasonic frequencies for a time period in the time range of between five seconds and ten minutes. The device used to inject the fluid into the uterine cavity may be used to produce the vibration, and the vibration may be directed at the uterus, which in turn indirectly causes the fluid in the cavity to vibrate. An instrument for performing the method is also disclosed.
