New handmade IUD aims to stay put in women with adenomyosis
NCT ID NCT07518693
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a handmade frameless IUD that releases the hormone levonorgestrel in 15 women at high risk of IUD expulsion due to conditions like adenomyosis or heavy bleeding. The device was made by combining an anchor system with a standard IUD after removing its T-shaped arms. Researchers looked at how often the device fell out and whether it improved symptoms like pain and heavy periods.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (handmade frameless GyneFix-LNG-IUS)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this device could offer a better option for women at high risk of IUD expulsion, helping control heavy bleeding and pain without the device falling out.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small, retrospective study with only 15 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The device is handmade, which could affect consistency and safety.
