  • INTRA-UTERINE INSERTION DEVICE
    Publication number: 20180235804
    Abstract: An inserter having a proximal and distal end, is for inserting and positioning an intra-uterine device (IUD), which is attached to a withdrawal string. The inserter includes a plunger having a central longitudinal axis, which is configured for slidable mounting of a hollow protective tube. The distal end of the plunger is configured for dismountable connection with the IUD. The protective tube is configured to slidably cover the IUD. The inserter has a handle attached to the proximal end of the plunger, and has a longitudinal member that forms part of the handle, which extends in the distal direction with respect to the plunger. The longitudinal member contains a friction contact surface.
