Clinical use of a new forceps for foreign body removal (Intrauterine forceps) is introduced in this paper. The forceps can fit in uterine cavity during operation. A total of 310 foreign bodies in uterus, including IUD breakage, IUD embedment and remained fetal bone were removed satisfactorily by the new forceps. Two case failed. The two failed cases were not diagnosed before operation. One was a broken stainless steel ring and embedded into myometrium deeply. It was difficult to remove the IUD and the patient was advised to undergo a hysteroscopy diagnosis. Another one was a stainless steel V shaped Cu IUD, which was broken into several pieces and removed by the forceps, but a small piece remained and was removed with aid of hysteroscopy. The new type of foeceps was proved to be effective and should be popularized.
