A trial was carried out on the TCu340 intrauterine contraceptive device. The IUD was used by 431 women over a period of 2 years. The reasons for IUD removal were analyzed after 1 and 2 years using the life-table method. Later, the authors compared these results with the MLCu375 and the Nova-T, using the coefficient Z of Cramer. The authors concluded that the TCu340 was a high-load IUD with high effectiveness. However, there was a higher incidence of side-effects, such as pain, bleeding and expulsion in comparison to MLCu375.
