LNG 20

B

Lippes loop

C

CuT

D

Multiload 375

Answer

LNG 20

Explanation

Solution

Intra uterine devices (IUDs) are plastic or metal objects which are inserted by doctors in the uterus through vagina. These are available as non-medicated IUDs (i.e., Lippes loop), copper releasing IUDs (CuT, Cu7, Multiload 375) and hormone releasing IUDs (progestasert, LNG-20). IUDs increase phagocytosis of sperms within the uterus and the Cu ions released by some suppress sperm motility and fertilizing capacity of the sperms. Cervical cap is a miniature diaphragm that covers cervix closely. It is fairly effective and can remain in place longer than diaphragm. Vault cap is hemispheric dome like rubber or plastic cap with a thick rim which is meant for fitting over the vaginal vault over the cervix.
