Medical devices and methods for treating and occluding a female patient's fallopian tubes to provide permanent birth control or sterilization.

Methods and apparatus are provided for fastening or clamping tissue to tissue or non-tissue layers and for occluding tubular body structures.

The disclosure relates to a vas deferens valve for contraception for use in a man and for implanting in the vas deferens within the scrotum, enabling the regulating of sperm flow in the vas deferens. There is a manually activated rocker switch which can be activated through the skin of the scrotum and which has a through-channel which, in the opened state, leads from a valve connection piece on the testicular vas deferens to a valve connection piece on the abdominal end of the vas deferens and, in the closed valve state, can be blocked on the end of the through-flow channel which faces the abdominal vas deferens end. The valve additionally has at least one outlet channel which, in the closed state of the valve, leads from the valve connection piece on the testicular end of the vas deferens out of the valve to the outside in the body of the man.

The present disclosure relates to an occlusion device for blocking a biological tube, the biological tube being prone to a peristaltic wave having a wave length, and where the occlusion device comprises at least two sections, where each section is connected by at least one narrowing to at least one other section. The occlusion device is of an elastic material, and each section is configured to deform when a force is applied by said peristaltic wave, and the length of at least one of said at least two sections corresponds substantially to the wave length of said peristaltic wave in said biological tube, so as to absorb said peristaltic wave. The disclosure relates to reversible contraception of female and/or male gendered species intervening with the biological tube, which are responsible for transportation of fertility fluids, such as the transportation of spermatozoes or oocytes in for example the human reproductive system.
