is a gentle, hormone-free, permanent birth control procedure. It works with your body to create a natural barrier against pregnancy by placing a soft, micro-insert into your fallopian tubes.
Essure is the most effective form of tubal sterilization. It also offers the lowest surgical risk compared to all other methods. There is no cutting, hormone therapy, or general anesthesia involved with this procedure.
In fact, it can be performed at The Complete Women’s Practice in less than 30 minutes. An Essure Confirmation Test is required 3 months after the procedure to confirm occlusion of tubes.
Essure is covered by most insurance providers. If performed in Dr. Cova’s office, payment is often as low as your copay.
