Immediate postabortal insertion of the frameless IUD: review of current experience.
Experience with the frameless Gynefix intrauterine device (IUD) for immediate postabortal insertion is growing. Reports confirm that the design characteristics of the frameless IUD (fixed, frameless and flexible) are responsible for the low expulsion, high effectiveness and high continuation rates. Insertion is easy and safe in the hands of trained providers and appears to be as reliable and effective as when inserted at interval. The results suggest that the frameless IUD may be an important new and affordable option to prevent repeat abortion.
