Abstract

PIP: 1725 patients were recruited for a prospective, randomized, comparative study of 3 IUDs: the Gravigard (Cu 7), Copper T 220C (T Cu 220C), and the Multiload 250 (ML Cu 250). All 3 devices were acceptable to patients with a continuation rate of over 60% at 2 years. The rates for accidental pregnancy and expulsion at 2 years were significantly higher for the Cu 7 when compared with the ML Cu 250 (P0.05) and the T Cu 220C (P0.01). Use-related terminations were more common with the Cu 7 than the ML Cu 250 (P0.05). All but 1 of the physicians questioned felt that the ML Cu 250 gave the least problems at insertion.
