Abstract: A retrievable intrauterine device for placing within the uterine cavity one or more encapsulated elements (1) capable of having interactions with the uterine fluid comprising an intrauterine device loaded with said encapsulated elements (1).
Abstract: The recoverable intra-uterine system comprises a housing capable of containing one or a plurality of elements selected from among the group comprising an embryo, male and/or female gametes, a fertilized oocyte, and unfertilized ovum and a combination of these elements, the housing having along an axis a distal end and a proximal end, and a device for holding the recoverable intra-uterine device in the uterus. The holding device is arranged at the proximal end of the housing and includes at least one holding arm in the uterine cavity capable of taking at least two positions: —one free position in which at least one holding arm is separated from the axis; and —a retracted position in which at least one holding arm is substantially parallel to the axis. Use in medically assisted reproduction techniques.

Abstract: A recoverable intra-uterine device comprising a housing containing one or several elements selected from a group containing an embryo, male and/or female gametes, a fertilised oocyte, an unfertilised egg and the combination thereof, wherein said housing is provided with a wall made of a biocompatible material. The wall is provided with a series of perforations whose size is sufficient in order to bring the intra-uterine medium into a cellular contact with the housing and to keep the elements therein. The inventive device is provided with a system for loading and unloading one or several elements selected from the group containing an embryo, male and/or female gametes, a fertilised oocyte, an unfertilised egg and the combination thereof.
