Fertility and Sterility
|February 1, 1985
Abstract:
The TCu 380Ag (Outokumpu Oy, Pori, Finland) and the Multiload Cu375 (Multilan, Organon, Oss, The Netherlands) were evaluated in 1477 women in a multicenter clinical trial. The intrauterine devices showed similar, low-event rates. Cumulative life-table pregnancy rates were less than 1.0, and continuation rates were approximately 90 per 100 women at 1 year after insertion. The risk of subsequent hospitalization or pelvic infection was low.
