Abstract
A one-hand apparatus for insertion and fixation of an IUD which has a penetration member with a needle at the distal end for holding an attaching member of an IUD. The penetration member with the IUD are slidably received and positively locked within an insertion tube to prevent slidable movement of the needle during initial insertion to touching contact of the insertion tube with the fundus. Thereupon, the penetration member is released by thumb action of the user upon a lock/release member to allow penetration of the needle into the fundus by a predetermined distance to fix the IUD to the fundus.
