What is it about?

A mechanical lifting technique that can be applied effectively in office laparoscopic sterilization, even to overweight women. Risks of general anesthesia and active gas insufflation are eliminated and room air, two strings and a needle, replace a CO2 gas filling machine and narcosis.The costs are < 1⁄4 of those of traditional laparoscopic sterilization and office hysteroscopic sterilization.
