About the Adiana system
The Adiana system is designed to provide women with a minimally invasive, non-incision alternative to traditional, surgical means of permanent contraception. Patients are normally able to return to work or resume their daily activities within one day. In contrast, traditional methods of permanent contraception, such as tubal ligation, require more invasive surgical procedures, usually are conducted in a hospital under general anesthesia and typically require four to five days of recovery. As a result, these more invasive surgical procedures can pose serious risk of complications.
"With the Adiana system, we are now able to provide physicians with another non-hormonal, minimally-invasive treatment that addresses a significant issue for women in their post-childbearing years," Cumming said.
