ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a device for the insertion and fixation of an intrauterine contraceptive devide (IUD) to the uterine fundus of a female in the immediate post-partum or post-abortal period. The device comprises a thread affixed to the IUD and to a retaining member, a needle for the insertion of the retaining member attached to the thread into the uterine muscle, a protecting member for the needle, a receiving member for the IUD, an actuating member for the needle, movable with respect to the protecting member, and a locking member for temporarily locking the actuating member to the protecting member. This device extends backwards to form a gripping member, while the retaining member loosely engages the needle and an element for achieving and maintaining a traction on the thread, ensuring the cooperation of the retaining member with the needle was long as the locking member and the protecting member are not disengaged and the IUD is not released from its receiving member.
