The process is an alternative to having a tubal ligation. A tiny device the size of a piece of rice is inserted and within 3 months the tubes are blocked as tissue grows back around the area where a low level of radiofrequency energy is introduced. BD 
Hologic Inc., the Bedford, Mass.-based women’s health care company, has won approval from the federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to sell its Adiana permanent contraception system.
Company officials say the system is designed to provide women a less-invasive alternative to tubal ligation. The procedure does not involve an incision and can be performed in a doctor’s office using local anesthesia.
The Adiana procedure is indicated for women who desire permanent birth control by occlusion of the fallopian tubes.
