1. Essure

   Essure is a permanent, non-surgical transcervical sterilization procedure for women developed by Conceptus Inc., a subsidiary of Bayer AG. It was approved for use in the United States on November 4, 2002. Two economic studies, one of which implemented Essure as an in-office procedure, suggest that Essure could be more cost-effective than laparoscopic bilateral tubal ligation. Since 2013, the product has been the subject of controversy with women complaining of severe side effects leading to surgical extraction, and campaigner Erin Brockovich hosting a website where women can share their stories after having the procedure.

   Although Essure is no longer available for implantation in the U.S., The FDA remains committed to evaluating long-term safety information in women who have received the device, including data from an FDA-required postmarket surveillance study, the FDA is working with Bayer, Essure's manufacturer, to modify The FDA study to include an additional interim analysis at one year of follow up after patients' permanent birth control procedure -- this is earlier than the previously planned analysis at three years.
