Can I do Emsella if I have titanium clamps?

Question

Wondering if I still qualify to use this technology with my silicone-lined titanium clamps that are on my fallopian tubes?

Mathew C. Mosher, MD · Answer

Emsella is a unique externally applied magnetic therapy that contracts and strengthens the pelvic floor. Titanium clips used for tubal ligation should be far enough away from the pelvic floor that treatments should be comfortable and effective. Physician oversight is essential to ensure that you are well informed of the risks and benefits.

Hi there! Typically, steel implants, pacemakers, etc are a clear contraindication. However, where yours are placed, you may feel slightly more sensitive. I don't think it is a problem since Emsella also uses titanium. Talk to your provider. If they can let you try it at different strengths to see if it's the best fit for you prior to committing.

Hi Charming241101- while titanium based implants and clips are considered MRI / E-M energy safe, there is some risk that they may heat up slightly during the treatment. This risk is greater if the clamps are alloy, meaning they contain other metals mixed in with the titanium. If you can confirm the clamps are 100% titanium, your risk of any adverse effects is very low. Hope that helps.
