title: Study of a new intrauterine device, the multiload 250 CU.
abstract: The multiload 250 CU intrauterine device has been inserted in 298 women. Its effectiveness and the side effects connected with the use have been studied for a total of 3455 months of use. Two pregnancies and 5 expulsions have been observed while twelve devices were removed for pain and bleeding. The data compares quite favourably with those obtained with other IUDs.
