274.40 TH/AB 978-01-10 ABSTRACT OF DISCLOSURE The present invention relates to a device for temporary or per- manent occlusion of channels or hollow spaces in human or animal bo- dies, particularly oviducts and spermatic ducts. According to the invention the device consists of a body made of a material, which, when brought into contact with a body fluid, swells at least 20%. In other respects, the material should be essentially inert and harmless to the body fluid and surrounding tissues and should not be absorbed by the human body. Suitable materials for this purpose are hydrogels. In use the body is introduced into a channel in the unswollen state and will thereafter swell, when in contact with the body fluid, so that the body, which can pass through the channel when inserted, will swell and effectively contact the walls of the channel occluding the same, simultaneously with the body being anchored in position.
