The biocompatible implant is about the size of a grain of rice. The unique porous architecture wrapped around a solid center core provides a scaffold into which tissue ingrowth occurs, occluding the tube. Because of the size, the biocompatible implant remains completely inside the fallopian tube. This means that there is nothing left in the uterus that may interfere if certain gynecologic tests or procedures are needed in the future.
