An osmotic intra-orifice housing uses semipermeable membrane uptake to drive controlled drug release, increase loading flexibility, and avoid reuse.
A flexible intrauterine frame uses locking parts and a removal thread to pass the cervix with less discomfort and lower uterine penetration risk.
A sterilized placement tube constrains IUD rotation and string position to enable hygienic postpartum insertion with less trauma and easier retrieval.
A shape-memory IUD expands against the uterine wall to limit migration while enabling focal copper delivery with less exposure and insertion discomfort.
A grasper, camera, and guided home-use kit help patients secure IUD strings and remove the device safely when clinic access is limited.
Wireless electromagnetic charging lets an IUD monitor uterine conditions long term without an internal battery, reducing size and leakage risk.
A slider-controlled string lock keeps the intrauterine system stable during insertion, reducing misalignment, jamming, and string damage.
