Abstract
The present invention pertains to silver ion bearing carriers useful in treating monorrhagia of a mammalian uterus, comprising a physiologically inert, flexible earner, e.g., a coil, bearing a tissue cauterizing amount of a silver ion. Silver ions are delivered to the endometrium and cause necrosis of the endometrial tissue. The silver ions remaining within the uterine cavity can then be neutralized with a sodium chloride solution delivered to the uterus e.g., by catheter, and the carrier recovered from the uterus.
