Animal studies using rabbits, stumptailed macaques monkeys, and baboons demonstrate that the tubal plug and clip device is an effective and safe method for female sterilization in these animal models. The devices were placed in 18 baboons that were bred regularly for six to 18 months without conception. Ten of these 18 animals conceived within 12 months after removal of the devices and carried normal pregnancies without any other surgical procedure. Six of the ten animals conceived and carried a second pregnancy for a total of 16 successful pregnancies. The expected pregnancy rate for baboons is 64.9% per year so that the 55.6% success rate of reversal and 16 total pregnancies clearly represents a high degree of reversibility for the method in this animal species.
使用兔子、短尾猕猴和狒狒进行的动物研究表明，输卵管堵塞和夹闭装置在这些动物模型中是一种有效且安全的女性绝育方法。该装置被放置在18只定期繁殖的狒狒体内，持续6至18个月未受孕。这18只动物中有10只在装置移除后的12个月内受孕，并且在没有任何其他外科手术的情况下正常怀孕。这10只动物中有6只再次受孕并成功孕育了第二胎，总计有16次成功怀孕。狒狒的预期年怀孕率为64.9%，因此55.6%的逆转成功率和16次总怀孕数清楚地表明了该方法在这种动物物种中的高度可逆性。
