  • Title: The early post-partum insertion of the nylon ring.
    Author: Ragab MI, Mahran M, Fadel HE.
    Journal: Ain Shams Med J; 1970 Jan; 21(1):25-7. PubMed ID: 12305245.
    Abstract:
    200 women were fitted within 24 to 48 hours after delivery with Ragab's nylon ring. Only 50 women were followed for 6 months postpartum. The incidence of follow-up was 30% in primaparae and 24% in multiparae. There were 21 women who continued to wear the IUD at 6 months, 2 who had had it removed, and 27 who had expelled the device. (The expulsion rate was 54%). The average insertion to expulsion period was 10 days. The high expulsion rate was felt to be due to the earlier insertion date postpartum than is usual. There were no clinical complications. The early postpartum insertion was recommended for this particurly low socioeconomic group.
