Summary. Preliminary cervical dilatation using Lamicel, followed by relatively painless uterine probing was successful in removing 30 of 31 contraceptive devices that had not been removable in the outpatient clinic. This technique is simple, safe, inexpensive and well tolerated. It can be utilized to retrieve intrauterine contraceptive devices with missing tails when other conventional clinic procedures fail.
