DUAL ANCHORING DEVICE FOR THE SUSPENSION OF INTRAUTERINE DEVICES

摘要

The invention relates to an anchoring means specifically for the retention of bioactive substances in the immediate post- Cesarean section uterus for contraception. The invention consists of a dual anchoring means, preferably a permanent anchoring knot, provided with a noose, for insertion in the top of the uterus with an inserter, and which is kept in place during the involution phase of the uterus by a supplementary means of temporary fixation, to overcome the risk of IUD/IUS dislodgment from the soft uterine wall, consisting of a biodegradable suture, consolidated with the permanent anchoring knot, for its temporary fixation to the serosa of the uterus, and which anchoring knot can be easily removed from the uterus at any time after its insertion in the uterine wall and fixation to the serosa due to the fast biodegrading time of the suture.
