Clinical Trial Summary

Insertion under vision such as hysteroscopy allows the ability to visualize the uterus prior to insertion, to assess uterine compatibility and the assurance of proper device placement. ReLARC® is a GyneFix® device intended to be inserted via hysteroscopy. Hysteroscopic insertion of the device allows direct visualization of the procedure, which makes it extremely safe. This multicentre, open-label study will take place in the Women's Clinic of the Ghent University Hospital in Belgium (International Coordinating Centre) and in the University Hospital AOU Federico II of Naples in Italy. Primary aim: To evaluate the safety of the ReLARC® inserter during the insertion procedure of GyneFix® intrauterine copper bearing contraceptive devices by means of successful placement with adequate position during follow-up evaluations. Providing no complications develop, participants will remain in the study for 3 years. 120 women will be enrolled.

Providing no complications develop, participants will remain in the study for 3 years. 120 women will be enrolled. During the screeningsvisit the physician will introduce the trial. During the enrolment visit, the patient will sign the informed consent if she agrees to participate. During the insertion visit, the IUD will be placed, the correct location of the device will be determined, the ease of ReLARC insertion and hysteroscope insertion will be measured, the learning curve of the insertion will be registered and the pain score of the patient will be registered. After 4-8 weeks the first follow-up visit will take place. The location of the device will be determined and a satisfactory score of the patient about the IUD. During 3 years there's a yearly consultation with the gynaecologist where the location of the device and the satisfactory score about the IUD will be determined. ;
