Intrauterine device is a small, flexible plastic frame which is effective, safe, convenient method of temporary sterilization.
It is inserted into the uterus through the vagina.
IUDs also called IUCDs in general are called the loops (after Lippes loop which is no longer used).
Their usage started in ancient times where Arabs and Turks used to insert pebbles into the uteri of camels in caravan.
In 11th century Islamic scientists first reported intra uterine pessaries for humans.
Richard Richter (1909), German physician introduced first ring shaped IUD made of silk worm gut. Ota in 1934 in Japan, made a ring with small disc in the centre with 3 spokes.
Jack Lippe, from Buffalo, NewYork in 1962, designed the first ever plastic IUD, which was used widely further added barium sulphate to make it radio-opaque so that it can be detected in X-rays.
