We are happy to announce that two new frameless intrauterine systems have been approved in the European Union.
Over 3 decades ago, an article appeared in the journal Contraception titled: “Immediate postplacental IUD insertion (IPPI): the expulsion problem”. The authors, M. Thiery and co-workers from the Ghent University in Belgium, after having inserted 2646 various IUDs, identified a persisting problem with immediate postplacental IUD insertion (IPPI) being poor device retention when compared to conventional interval insertion.
Read how we solved this problem after 30 years of trial and error.
