The MDF, which is Y-shaped, has 2 or 3 horizontal arms on a vertical stem and 2 triangular wings, in between the 'V'. When inserted after curettage, it prevents intrauterine or intracervical adhesions. The fan-shaped Butterfly IUD has 2 overlapping wings, thereby facilitating adjustment of the IUD to variable uterine cavities. Its wing span occupies the entire uterine cavity when inserted according to the instructions. Both IUDs are made of polyethylene plastic with barium sulfate. Several substitutions for barium sulfate are suggested, e.g., copper, silver, hormones, biodegradable polymers. The high antifertility action of these IUDs is due primarily to their occupancy of the entire uterine cavity.</p>","PeriodicalId":84493,"journal":{"name":"Contraceptive delivery systems","volume":"3 1","pages":"25-38"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1982-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"22004356","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The immediate postinsertion pain scores were significantly higher in the ML Cu 250-short group than in the Cu 7 group. There was no significant difference between the 3 minutes postinsertion scores for the 2 groups. The 3 minute pain scores were significantly lower than the immediate pain scores for each individual device group. Immediate postinsertion IUD pain may be related to the presenting diameter and insertional mechanism of the device. This pain is of short duration and after 3 minutes, the level of pain is independent of the type of device which has been inserted. The rapid diminution of pain at 3 minutes postinsertion indicates that the routine use of certain analgesic techniques, e.g., paracervical block before IUD insertion, is not justified. Pain following IUD insertion may provide a useful model for the study of various types of peripheral and centrally acting analgesics.</p>","PeriodicalId":84493,"journal":{"name":"Contraceptive delivery systems","volume":"2 4","pages":"295-301"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1981-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"22034305","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
