title: [Response to stress of the MLCu 250 intrauterine device].
abstract: The study examined the response to stress of a particular type of intrauterine device (MLCu 250) which had already been evaluated due to a supposed tendency to intracavity fragmentation. The study, which was carried out using original equipment specially designed for this experiment, highlights a reduced resistance to mechanical stress in both new IUDs and in those already subjected to several months' use.
