Hand holds a GyneFIX intrauterine contraceptive
IUD contraceptive. Hand holds a GyneFIX IntraUter- ine Device (IUD) used in contraception. This IUD consists of 6 copper rings on a thread which is implanted in the muscle at the top of a womans uterus (the fundal myometrium). The device is anchored in the myometrium by the knot at lower right. The thread hangs through the cervix, making it easy to remove. GyneFIXs design makes it unlikely to irritate surrounding tissue or be accidentally expelled. IUDs are thought to work by interfering with the implantation of a fertilised egg in the uterus. The GyneFIX is replaced about once every five years. Users of GyneFIX have a yearly pregnancy rate of only about 0.5%

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a hand delicately holding a GyneFIX intrauterine contraceptive, revealing the intricate design of this highly effective birth control device. The GyneFIX IUD is specifically designed to provide long-term contraception for women, consisting of six copper rings on a thread that is implanted in the muscle at the top of the uterus. What sets GyneFIX apart is its unique anchoring mechanism, with a knot located at the lower right corner firmly securing it within the myometrium. This ensures that there is minimal risk of irritation or accidental expulsion, offering peace of mind to users. The thread extends through the cervix, allowing for easy removal when desired. IUDs like GyneFIX are believed to prevent pregnancy by interfering with the implantation of fertilized eggs in the uterus. With an impressively low yearly pregnancy rate of only about 0.5%, this reliable contraceptive option provides effective and hassle-free protection for up to five years before replacement becomes necessary. This remarkable image not only highlights the importance and advancements in medical technology but also emphasizes how science continues to empower individuals in making informed choices regarding their reproductive health.
