The Ballerine copper intrauterine device (IUD) has been used worldwide since 2014 and in Denmark since 2020. There is limited documentation for its effectiveness and possible risks and complications. In this case report, two women, one 22-year-old (multipara) and the other 24-year-old (nullipara), both experienced extrauterine displacement and perforation. In both cases, the IUD needed removal surgically. Clinical experience with the insertion of an IUD as well as the need for detailed information on possible complications is advised. Further studies on the Ballerine cobber IUD are warranted.
