To provide an intrauterine contraceptive device and a method of delivering and using the same.SOLUTION: The intrauterine contraceptive device includes a wire having a portion capable of forming a three dimensional (3D) structure. The 3D structure is elastically deformable to a partially collapsed configuration via a crush force larger than a force applied thereto by a relaxed uterine cavity. The three dimensional structure is also capable of elastically contracting and expanding in response to contraction and expansion of the uterine cavity.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 【課題】子宮内避妊器具、およびそれを送達および使用する方法を提供する。【解決手段】本発明の子宮内避妊器具は、３次元（３Ｄ）構造体を形成することができる部分を含むワイヤを含む。３Ｄ構造体は、弛緩した子宮腔によって加えられる力よりも大きい圧潰力によって部分的に潰れた構成へと弾性的に変形可能である。また、３次元構造体は、子宮腔の収縮および拡張に応じて弾性的に収縮および拡張できる。【選択図】図２
