ABSTRACT:
An intrauterine contraceptive device made from plastic having a C-shape or Omega-shape to enable it to lie in the uterine cavity. Lines of predetermined length are attached at one of their ends respectively to enlargement portions of the terminal ends of the device and with their other ends fastened by a plastic bead and aid in insertion, removal and as a telltale marker. The device can include a metallic contraceptive material such as copper. One embodiment uses copper wire, which can be of selected different diameter, wound on the body of the device and retained against slippage by serrations on the body. A tubular inserter with appropriate grips and a cervical abutment flange is used to receive the IUD in elongated deformation. The device is slipped through the tubular inserter by a plunger and as the IUD emerges from the upper end of the tube, strain on one of the lines caused by abutment of the bead on the lower end of the tube positively bows and pulls the emerging IUD into a substantially circular configuration within the plane of the fundal cavity, the inserter having been appropriately oriented during the preliminary insertion steps.
