AltaScience is developing  AltaSeal®, a non-surgical alternative to tubal ligation. AltaSeal®  is a soft stainless steel micro-insert, which is placed the fallopian tubes using a special type of telescope called a hysteroscope. AltaSeal®  can be placed in a gynaecologist’s office, rather than in a hospital, and the procedure takes about 15 minutes. Because there’s no anesthesia or surgery, a woman can expect to resume normal activities on the same day, or the next day.
