ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for nonsurgically removing certain IUDs, such as 7- or T-shaped IUDs, from within the uterus via the cervical canal. The apparatus is composed of: a rod-shaped handle; a tube, one end of which slidably fits over one end of the handle such that the handle may slide within the tube from a first position to a second position; a hole in the other end of the tube; and a filament that extends between and is attached to the other end of the handle and the other end of the tube via the hole. The filament is wrapped snugly about the other end of the tube when the handle is slid to its first position and the filament defines an outwardly extending loop when the handle is slid to its second position, which loop is used to entrap the IUD.
