Methods and systems are provided for trans-cervical delivery of agents for various purposes, including contraception and tubal patency evaluation. The trans-cervical delivery system comprises at least one port: a tubular shaft coupled to the port, the tubular shaft including at least one hollow channel traversing an interior length of the tubular shaft; and an agent delivery end coupled to the tubular shaft, the agent delivery end including at least one flexible catheter and a plug. The trans-cervical delivery system of the present disclosure integrates a pre-formed wire frame into the agent delivery end that enables self-positioning of the catheter and assists in gaining precise access to the cornual regions of a uterus by an operator. In one example, the trans-cervical delivery system may be utilized for selective delivery of a foam agent to fallopian tubes non-surgically.
