title: The Soichet intrauterine device in the treatment of intrauterine adhesions.
abstract: IUD in the shape of a "Y" was inserted following curettage to 32 patients suffering from missed abortion or post-partum hemorrhage for the prevention of intrauterine adhesion formation, and to 48 patients suffering from sterility as a result of intrauterine adhesions. The rate of adhesion formation or recurrence of adhesions after their removal by curettage was very low and dropped significantly compared to other IUD's.
