Not good so far: The intrauterine ball (IUB) is a novel, non-hormonal contraception device that was designed to function similar to a copper IUD. In a pilot study, researchers tested the SCu380A & found high expulsion rates, high rates of removal due to symptoms, & low satisfaction rates during the first year. The findings suggest the IUB is an unacceptable alternative to current intrauterine contraceptive methods
