title: One-year results with the Fincoid IUD--a Hungarian experience with the short model.
abstract: This study presents the one-year experience with a new copper-releasing intrauterine contraceptive device, the Fincoid IUD. Between November 1984 and August 1985, 650 Fincoid devices were inserted in parous women to test the efficacy and clinical performance of the devices. After one year, 16 pregnancies had occurred (2.8 net cumulative rate); 26 devices had been partially or totally expelled (4.4); 27 devices had been removed for bleeding and/or pain (4.7); and 16 devices had been removed for other medical reasons (2.8). The continuation rate at the end of the first year was 84.3, indicating a good clinical performance.
