| Abstract: | Introduction: Intrauterine devices (IUD) are viewed as important contraceptive methodologies to prevent unintended pregnancy.; Areas Covered: This expert opinion examines the place of frameless devices for use in young women in order to minimize side effect, improve patient comfort and maximize continuation of use to help reduce unintended pregnancies.; Expert Opinion: Frameless designed IUDs have the ability to be used in both small and large uterine cavities of varied shapes and can significantly reduce abnormal bleeding, pain, embedment and expulsion and likely account for higher continuation rates than that seen with framed IUDs. |
