    摘要: Fertility suppression in a female mammal is achieved with a device for insertion and retention in the uterus in the form of a flexible, resilient body of polymeric material having an elastic memory. The body has an ellipsoidal shape and a fluted surface. When inserted into the uterine cavity in a compacted state, the body assumes an ellipsoidal configuration. Preferably, the device contains an anti-fertility agent, most preferably progesterone, and is permeable to passage of the anti-fertility agent at a low rate. Upon insertion in the uterus, the device releases a fertility suppressing amount of the anti-fertility agent to the uterus.
