The Ljubljana IUDs: further observations on surface morphology.
Twelve IUDs that had been worn from 8 years 10 months to 24 years were examined by SEM. Photomicrographs of selected samples are shown, and a discussion of the nature of the surface encrustations is provided. The authors are of the opinion that surface encrustations are generic to different types of IUDs and that their clinical significance is presently unknown.

Surface changes in intrauterine contraceptive devices after variable use.
Four used intrauterine contraceptive devices and two new control devices were studied by scanning electron microscopy. All intrauterine contraceptive devices were found to have surface deposits that differed not only from site to site on a given device but between devices. A finding of this study not previously described in the literature was the observation of a euhedral crystal rosette of an apatite mineral group [Ca5(PO4)3(F,Cl,OH)] on the Lippes Loop that had been in situ for 15 years.
