This report describes an instrument designed for locating and delivering the Fallopian tube through an incision of less than 2 cm. Since no gas insufflation, fibre optic illumination, or electricity is required for successful use of this instrument, it is well suited for performing outpatient tubal sterilizations in areas where other methods, such as laparoscopic procedures, are not feasible.
