A device for verifying occlusion of the fallopian tube in a female subject includes an elongate gas delivery member having a lumen disposed therein, the elongate gas delivery member adapted for sealing engagement with the subject's uterus. The device includes a pressurized insufflation gas source coupled to the elongate gas delivery member, the insufflation gas source being in communication with the lumen of the elongate gas delivery member. The insufflation gas may include, for example, carbon dioxide. In one aspect, the device includes a pressure sensor or gauge to measure intra-uterine pressure to verify occlusion of the fallopian tube(s). In another aspect, the flow rate of insufflation gas into the uterus may be measured using a flow meter to verify occlusion of the fallopian tube(s).

L'invention concerne un dispositif de vérification d'occlusion des trompes de Fallope chez la femme. Ledit dispositif comporte un élément de distribution de gaz allongé ayant une lumière disposée à l'intérieur, l'élément de distribution de gaz allongé adapté à une mise en prise de scellage avec l'utérus du sujet. Le dispositif inclut une source de gaz d'insufflation pressurisée couplée à l'élément de distribution de gaz allongé et en communication avec la lumière de l'élément de distribution de gaz allongé. Le gaz d'insufflation peut comprendre, par exemple, le dioxyde de carbone. Dans un aspect, le dispositif est muni d'un capteur ou d'une jauge de pression pour mesurer la pression intra-utérine et vérifier l'occlusion d'une ou des deux trompes de Fallope. Dans un autre aspect, le débit du gaz d'insufflation dans l'utérus peut être mesuré au moyen d'un débitmètre, ce qui permet de vérifier si l'une ou les deux trompes de Fallope présentent une occlusion.
