Medical - Medical (general) / Gynecology - Essure contraceptive device
Spanish term or phrase: anillas
Realizábamos RX pélvica para comprobar la correcta colocación de los dispositivos, o HSG si existían dudas con la radiografía y la ecografía transvaginal o directamente en caso de visualizarse en cavidad menos de una a o más de diez anillas, si la inserción fue dificultosa o si sólo se insertó un Essure[1].

I'm not sure what "anillos" means in this context. Thoughts?

Best,

coils
Explanation:
https://www.drugwatch.com/essure/
The Essure Permanent Birth Control System provides women with an alternative to surgical forms of permanent birth control such as tubal ligation. Doctors place two metal coils in the fallopian tubes that form scar tissue, forming a barrier that reportedly is 99.83 percent effective in preventing pregnancy. But thousands of women claim the device caused life-changing injuries and should be pulled from the market.

Small, flexible inserts are placed into the fallopian tubes by a catheter passed from the vagina through the cervix and uterus.[10] The insert contains inner polyethylene terephthalate fibers to induce inflammation, causing a benign fibrotic ingrowth,[10] and is held in place by flexible stainless steel inner coil and a dynamic outer nickel titanium alloy coil<7b>.

neutral  Margarida Martins Costelha: Your 1st and last references are not about contraceptive devices and I could not access the others. Can you be sure these also apply to the Essure device? Both descriptions I posted mention 2 coils.

  -> I already said the references don't apply to the device. BUT: the Essure device has only *one* coil and the description of the device makes it clear that they are talking about layers of that coil.
