More than 4 million women have undergone successful sterilization with the Filshie® Clip.*  Simple and reliable, the small titanium clip lined with soft Silastic® rubber is a safe and effective method of surgical contraception. Once in place, the clip occludes the fallopian tube, preventing sperm from reaching the egg

in the fallopian tube. The Filshie Clip has the highest success rate among all current forms of permanent sterilization.*

The Filshie Clip System of sterilization can be performed at the time of cesarean delivery, after a vaginal birth via mini-laparotomy, or as a laparoscopic procedure. The applicators for this sterilization method have been purposely designed for single- or dual-incision laparoscopy or postpartum procedures. Female sterilization with the clip can be performed in an outpatient setting, or in a hospital. Sterilization is immediate after this procedure.

In a recent study, more than 90% of women surveyed who had been sterilized using this system indicated they would recommend this method to other women.*
