About AAGL

Founded in 1971, this professional organization for gynecologic laparoscopic surgeons (formerly known as the American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopists) is dedicated to the research and advancement of minimally invasive gynecologic procedures. The organization has over 7,500 members in over 110 countries. More recently, the name was switched to just the acronym to reflect its international scope.

About FemBloc^®

FemBloc^® is a first-of-its-kind, non-surgical, non-implant, in-office solution in late-stage clinical development for permanent birth control. It is intended to be a safer option for women and its cost is estimated to be substantially less than the long-standing surgical alternative by eliminating the need for anesthesia, incisions, and permanent implants. FemBloc has the potential to offer a convenient, accessible, and reliable option to women seeking permanent birth control. For over 100 years, there has been stagnant innovation in the area of permanent birth control; this could lead to a $20 billion market expansion opportunity for FemBloc in the U.S. alone.
