An analysis is presented of a study of the Copper-T 200 (CuT 200) intrauterine device at the Barros Luco Hospital in Santiago, Chile. The devices were inserted in 1142 postpartum patients. The expulsion rate was high, 32.1% at 3 months. Of the 372 women who expelled devices, 349 received a replacement CuT 200. The expulsion rate for these reinsertions was 7.7% at 12 months with a continuation rate of 86.4%.
