Abstract
The intrauterine devices (IUDs) now available offer almost available offer almost complete protection from pregnancy. Some models are effective longer than any other reversible family planning method. Correctly inserted, IUDs are safe for women at low risk of sexually transmitted disease. In fact, because IUDs prevent pregnancy so well, they save many lives.
