Postpartum insertion of the combined multiload copper intra-uterine device (M L Cu 250). 1978

N C Wathen, and K E Sapire, and D A Davey

The results obtained from postpartum insertion of the combined multiload copper intra-uterine device (M L Cu 250) are presented. The study was prompted by a pilot study in the Netherlands which showed that few expulsions occurred with "postplacental" insertion of the multiload intra-uterine device. Seventy-five patients had devices inserted between 6 and 72 hours postpartum, and the patients were followed up for 6 months after insertion, with an overall continuation rate of 77,6%. This study showed that the postpartum insertion of this device is a safe and acceptable form of contraception, particularly in patients who are unlikely to continue with other forms of contraception.
