High impact information on Contraceptive Devices

• Norplant, a sc contraceptive device, releases levonorgestrel in a sustained fashion [1].
• Thermoreversible gel formulation containing sodium lauryl sulfate as a potential contraceptive device [2].
• The effect of progesterone could be inhibited by treatment with a high dose of oestradiol, by the anti-progestin RU486, and by the presence of an intra-uterine contraceptive device [3].
• Effect of butoconazole nitrate cream and wax insert on the barrier property of contraceptive devices [4].
• An intravaginal contraceptive device for the delivery of an acrosin and hyaluronidase inhibitor [5].

Biological context of Contraceptive Devices

• The Dalkon Shield contraceptive device in general practice [6].

Associations of Contraceptive Devices with chemical compounds

• METHODS: Observational study including 188 consecutive women presenting for follow-up transvaginal ultrasound examination after insertion of an etonogestrel implant contraceptive device [7].
• This study was performed to determine the location of a silicone rubber vaginal barrier contraceptive device, the Lea's Shield, in vivo [8].
• The medroxyprogesterone acetate intravaginal silastic ring as a contraceptive device [9].
• The discovery of poly(dimethylsiloxane) as a carrier, and controlled release polymers for small molecule drugs allowed the development of contraceptive devices releasing steroids for several years [10].
• Immunoglobulins A, G and M and the complement components C3, C4 and CI-INH were quantified in sera from 59 women using an intra-uterine contraceptive device (IUCD) [11].

Gene context of Contraceptive Devices

• Comparison of copper T-200 with Lippes loop as a contraceptive device [12].
• A series of 1 270 Multiload Cu-250 intra-uterine contraceptive devices inserted in clinics of the Cape Divisional Council is described, spanning 1 024,6 woman-years [13].
• Since the publication of La Vacation (Paris: POL, 1989), a novel based on his experience in an abortion clinic, he has published more than 20 books (fiction and non-fiction), including a user's manual of contraceptive devices (Contraceptions mode d'emploi. Vauvert: Le Diable Vauvert, 2003) [14].
