Conceptus, Inc. (Nasdaq: CPTS), has decided to discontinue its promotion of the GYNECARE THERMACHOICE Uterine Balloon Therapy System to U.S. OB/GYN physician offices. The product is manufactured for and marketed by ETHICON Women's Health and Urology, a division of Ethicon, Inc. The Company's promotion agreement with Ethicon was announced in November 2010 and is subject to a six-month advance notice of termination.

Conceptus also announced a reduction in its U.S. field sales organization of approximately 15%, in part to address this more efficient redeployment of its efforts.
