An inserter for an intrauterine system can include a handle having an opening, a slider arranged in the opening, a plunger attached to the handle, an insertion tube attached to the slider and arranged around the plunger, and a lock adapted to reversibly lock at least one removal string of the intrauterine system. The lock can include a main part with an opening, the main part being rotatably mounted on a shaft or axle, an extension of the main part, and a counterpart. The removal string passes through the opening of the main part and is immobilized between the main part and the counterpart when the lock is in a locking position. The slider is configured to press against the extension of the main part and turn the main part around the shaft or axle to release the removal string as the slider is moved backwards.

Inserter

The invention relates to an inserter for an intrauterine system, including a handle () having a longitudinal opening () at its first end, the opening () having a longitudinal axis parallel to the longitudinal axis of the inserter, a first end () and a second end (), a moveable slider () arranged in the longitudinal opening () and having a first end () and a second end (), a plunger () attached to the handle (), an insertion tube () arranged around the plunger () having a first end and a second end, with its second end attached to the slider (). The inserter further includes a lock that reversibly locks the intrauterine system in relation to the plunger () via a removal string of the intrauterine system, the lock being controllable by the slider () and/or the insertion tube ().

The present invention relates to an inserter for an intrauterine system comprising a handle (), and an insertion tube () having a first end and a second end, and being arranged in connection with the handle. The inserter is characterized in that the first end of the insertion tube () comprises at least one frame slot for receiving a frame of the intrauterine system. The invention also relates to a kit comprising an inserter according to the present invention and an intrauterine system, wherein the intrauterine system () comprises a therapeutic component () and a continuous, closed frame (), the therapeutic component () being connected to the frame () at least one point, and therapeutic component () of the intrauterine system () is at least mainly arranged inside the first end of the insertion tube () and the frame () of the intrauterine system () is at least mainly arranged outside the first end of the insertion tube ().

The invention relates to an inserter for an intrauterine system, including a handle () having a longitudinal opening () at its first end, the opening () having a longitudinal axis parallel to the longitudinal axis of the inserter, a first end () and a second end (), a moveable slider () arranged in the longitudinal opening () and having a first end () and a second end (), a plunger () attached to the handle (), an insertion tube () arranged around the plunger () having a first end and a second end, with its second end attached to the slider (). The inserter further includes a lock that reversibly locks locking the intrauterine system in relation to the plunger () via a removal string of the intrauterine system, the lock being controllable by the slider () and/or the insertion tube ().

The present invention relates to an inserter for an intrauterine system, comprising a handle () having a longitudinal opening () at its first end, said opening () having a longitudinal axis parallel to the longitudinal axis of the inserter, a first end () and a second end (), a movable slider () arranged in said longitudinal opening () and having a first end () and a second end (), a plunger () attached to the handle () and having a longitudinal axis, and an insertion tube () having a first end, a second end and a longitudinal axis essentially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the plunger (), the insertion tube () being, along said longitudinal axis, movably arranged around the plunger (). The invention is characterised in that it further comprises a flange () arranged on the insertion tube () at its first end, and means for locking the slider () into a position showing the correct insertion depth for the intrauterine system, said means being adjustable with respect to the opening () of the handle.
