Patent ID: 8231619

Claim:
A device configured for insertion into a fallopian tube, comprising: a distal end and a proximal end having a handle thereon; an external electrode sheath having a lumen sized for housing a first porous implant at the distal end and along a long axis thereof, the external electrode sheath configured to slide distally and proximally along its long axis relative to the handle and including at least one ring electrode disposed about its outer diameter for wounding an epithelial layer of a fallopian tube; an internal sheath longitudinally disposed within the lumen of the external electrode sheath at its distal end and having a lumen sized for housing a second porous implant along the long axis thereof; and a positioning member slideably disposed within the lumen of the internal sheath proximal to the first and second porous implants along the long axis, the positioning member configured to slide relative to the handle and toward the distal end of the catheter; wherein sliding at least one of the external electrode sheath or the positioning member relative to one another disposes the first porous implant within a first fallopian tube and disposes the second porous implant within a second fallopian tube.
