Multiload Mark II :
It is the updated version of original multiload 375, developed in Netherlands, having 375 mm2 copper as the original ML-375.
But shorter, more flexible with less expulsion rate than original multiload  375.
Having three improvements than original multiload 375 : prevents IUD being pushed beyond the inserter, functions as a uterine sound and one handed expulsion action.
These innovations decrease the uterine perforation.

It can be removed by sponge forceps but some difficulty in disengaging may occur.
