Contraceptive system and method of use

A contraceptive device, comprising

• a) a tubular body which has a longitudinal axis, which is at least in part configured to be radially expanded about the longitudinal axis within a lumen of a patient's reproductive system from a first configuration to a second configuration having larger transverse dimensions than the first configuration to facilitate securing a least a portion of the tubular body to a wall portion defining at least in part a lumen of a patient's reproductive system, which has at least one open end and which has an open framework in the expanded configuration facilitating the ingrowth of tissue cells;
• and
• b) a member at least partially within the tubular body which is configured for tissue growth.

A contraceptive device for deployment in a female patient's fallopian tube, comprising:

• a) a tubular body which has a longitudinal axis, which at least in part is configured to be radially expanded about the longitudinal axis within the patient's fallopian tube from a first configuration to a second configuration having larger transverse dimensions than the first configuration to facilitate securing a least a portion of the expanded tubular body to a wall portion defining at least in part a lumen of the female patient's fallopian tube, which has at least one open end and which has an open framework in the expanded configuration facilitating ingrowth of tissue cells;
• and
• b) a member at least in part within the tubular body which is configured for tissue growth.

A contraceptive device for deployment in a lumen of a male patient's reproductive system, comprising:

• a) a tubular body which has a longitudinal axis, which at least in part is configured to be radially expanded about the longitudinal axis within the patient's lumen from a first configuration to a second configuration having larger transverse dimensions than the first configuration to facilitate securing a least a portion of the expanded tubular body to a wall portion defining at least in part the patient's lumen, which has at least one open end and which has an open framework in the expanded configuration facilitating ingrowth of tissue cells;
• and
• b) a member at least in part within the radially expandable tubular body which is configured for tissue growth.

A method of human contraception comprising

• a) providing a contraceptive device comprising a tubular body having at least one open end and a member which is configured for tissue growth which is disposed at least partially within the tubular body;
• b) inserting within a lumen of a patient's reproductive system at least a portion of the contraceptive device including at least part of the tubular body and at least part of the tissue growth member, and
• c) within a region of the patient's reproductive lumen, radially expanding at least a tubular portion of the tubular body about a longitudinal axis from a first configuration to a second configuration having outer transverse dimensions which are larger than outer transverse dimensions in the first configuration and which substantially conform to the inner transverse dimensions of the patient's reproductive lumen in the region where the tubular portion is expanded.

A human contraceptive device comprising:

• a) a tubular body which has a longitudinal axis, which has at least a tubular portion that is configured to be radially expanded within a lumen of a patient's reproductive system about the longitudinal axis from a first configuration to a second configuration having outer transverse dimensions larger than outer transverse dimensions in the first configuration, which has at least one open end and which substantially conforms to inner transverse dimensions of the patient's reproductive lumen at an expansion site therein;
• and
• b) a member which is configured for tissue growth and which is disposed at least partially within the tubular body.

A contraceptive device, comprising;

• a) a tubular body which has a longitudinal axis, which is at least in part configured to be radially expanded about the longitudinal axis within a lumen of a patient's reproductive system from a first configuration to a second cylindrical tubular configuration having larger transverse dimensions tan the first configuration to facilitate securing a least a portion of the tubular body to a wall portion defining at least in part a lumen of a patient's reproductive system and which has an open framework in the expanded configuration facilitating the ingrowth of tissue cells;
• and
• b) a member at least partially within the tubular body which is configured for tissue growth.

A contraceptive device, comprising:

• a) a tubular member comprises a coil member which has a longitudinal axis, which is at least in part configured to be radially expanded about the longitudinal axis within a lumen of a patient's reproductive system from a first configuration to a second configuration having larger transverse dimensions than the first configuration to facilitate securing a least a portion of the helical coil to a wall portion defining at least in part a lumen of a patient's reproductive system and which has an open framework in the expanded configuration facilitating the ingrowth of tissue cells;
• and
• b) a member which is disposed at least partially within the helical coil and which is configured for tissue growth.

A contraceptive device for occluding a lumen of a patient's reproductive system, comprising:

• a) an elongated tubular member which has a longitudinal axis, which is at least in part configured to be radially expanded about the longitudinal axis within a lumen of a patient's reproductive system from a first configuration to a second configuration having larger transverse dimensions than the first configuration to facilitate securing a least a portion of the tubular body to a wall portion defining at least in part a lumen of a patient's reproductive system, which has open proximal and distal ends and which has an open framework in the expanded configuration facilitating the ingrowth of tissue cells;
• and
• b) a member which is disposed at least partially within the tubular member and which is configured for tissue growth.

A contraceptive device comprising a tubular coil member which has a longitudinal axis, which is at least in part configured to be radially expanded about the longitudinal axis within a lumen of a patient's reproductive system from a first configuration to a second configuration having larger transverse dimensions than the first configuration to facilitate securing a least a portion of the coil member to a wall portion defining at least in part a lumen of a patient's reproductive system and which has an open framework in the expanded configuration facilitating the ingrowth of tissue cells.
