    The Dimélys, a French copper intrauterine device (IUD), shows moderate effectiveness and good uterine retention over three years. User age and operator skill impact its clinical performance.

    Area of Science:

    • Reproductive Health
    • Medical Devices
    • Gynecology

    Background:

    • Introduction of the Dimélys, a novel lily-shaped copper intrauterine device (IUD) from France.
    • Initial clinical evaluation of a new contraceptive technology.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report the first clinical results of the Dimélys IUD.
    • To assess the efficacy and safety of the Dimélys IUD over a three-year period.

    Main Methods:

    • Prospective insertion of the Dimélys IUD in 348 women.
    • Accumulation of 8975 woman-months of follow-up data.
    • Analysis of pregnancy and expulsion rates, and influencing factors.

    Main Results:

    • Moderate pregnancy rates at 1 year (2.8%) and 3 years (5.7%).

  • Good uterine retention with low expulsion rates at 1 year (1.5%) and 3 years (2.5%).
  • Clinical efficacy influenced by patient age; higher expulsion rates noted with unskilled operators.

    • Conclusions:

    • The Dimélys IUD demonstrates acceptable performance regarding retention.
    • Factors such as patient age and operator experience significantly affect IUD outcomes.
    • Further research may optimize the use of this copper IUD.
