Abstract

Contraception methods, systems and devices generally improve the ease, speed and reliability with which a contraceptive device (12) can be deployed transcervically into an ostium of a fallopian tube. The contraceptive device (12) may remain in a small profile configuration while a sheath (14) is withdrawn proximally, and is thereafter expanded to a large profile configuration engaging the surrounding tissues, by manipulating one or more actuators of a proximal handle (30) with a single hand. This leaves the other hand free to manipulate a hysteroscope, minimizing the number of health care professionals required to deploy the contraceptive device (12).
