Which of the following is not an intra-uterine contraceptive device ?

Options

A. Multiload 375
B. Progestasert
C. Implants
D. Lippes loop

Answer

To determine which of the following options is not an intra-uterine contraceptive device, we need to analyze each option provided:

1. **Multiload 375**: This is an intrauterine device (IUD) that is designed to prevent pregnancy. It is a copper-releasing device that works by releasing copper ions which decrease sperm motility and fertilizing capacity.

2. **Progesterone's Heart**: This is also an intrauterine device that releases hormones (specifically progesterone) to prevent pregnancy. It makes the uterine environment unsuitable for implantation.

3. **Implants**: This option refers to a method of contraception that involves placing a small rod under the skin, typically in the arm, which releases hormones to prevent ovulation. This is not an intrauterine device as it is not placed in the uterus.

4. **Lips Loop**: This is another type of intrauterine device. It is a plastic loop that is inserted into the uterus to prevent pregnancy.

Now, based on the analysis:

- **Multiload 375** is an IUD.
- **Progesterone's Heart** is an IUD.
- **Lips Loop** is an IUD.
- **Implants** are not an IUD.

Thus, the correct answer to the question "Which of the following is not an intra-uterine contraceptive device?" is **Implants**.
