Summary:A multicenter study was conducted in Nigeria, comparing the Multiload-Cu250 (MLCu250) with the Multiload-Cu375 (MLCu375). The two intrauterine devices were studied on aspects of effectiveness and acceptability. Parameters were observed and analyzed, using the life-table method of Tietze and Lewit. Continuation rates were excellent. Overall results were in line with studies done elsewhere in the world with Multiload devices, showing a slight superiority of the MLCu375 over the MLCu250.
