Des accidents graves ont été publiés dans les années 70 concernant les femmes enceintes porteuses de stérilet [...] Ces complications ont surtout été décrites chez les femmes porteuses d'un dispositif particulier : le Dalkon Shield. Elles étaient dues à la propagation des germes par le fil gainé de ce D.I.U. qui a depuis été retiré du commerce.
