Essure® – Premanent Birth Control

Essure is a gentle, hormone-free birth control procedure – without cutting or the risks of getting your tubes tied.

What is Essure?

Essure® is a permanent birth control procedure that works with your body to create a natural barrier against pregnancy.  This gentle procedure can be performed in a doctor’s office in less than an hour.

Trusted by women and doctors for over five years, Essure is covered by most insurance providers.  If the Essure procedure is performed in a doctor’s office, depending on your specific insurance plan, payment may be as low as a simple co-pay.

The Essure procedure involves placing soft, flexible micro-inserts in the fallopian tubes.

Essure offers women what no other birth control ever has

• No cutting
• No going under general anesthesia
• No slowing down to recover
• No hormones
• No guessing – your doctor can confirm when you can rely on Essure for birth control
• Short procedure time – Essure only takes about 13 minutes to perform

...and you’ll never have to worry about unplanned pregnancy again.
