    Area of Science:

    • Gynecology
    • Medical Device Safety

    Background:

    • The Majzlin spring is a stainless steel intrauterine device (IUD) that was widely used from 1967 to 1973.
    • Despite being withdrawn from the market, an unknown number of women may still have this IUD in situ.

    Observation:

    • Physicians often lack knowledge regarding the Majzlin spring IUD.
    • This knowledge gap pertains to the device itself and its associated health risks.

    Findings:

    • Potential complications associated with the Majzlin spring include significant bleeding, infection, uterine perforation, and challenges during removal.
    • These complications can arise due to the device's design or prolonged presence.

    Implications:

    • There is a critical need for increased physician awareness regarding the Majzlin spring IUD and its potential sequelae.
  • Healthcare providers should be vigilant in identifying and managing complications in patients who may have this legacy device.
