Background: IUD insertion can be painful due to cervical traction and tenaculum use, leading to anxiety and decreased adoption. Yanae® is a novel inserter designed to facilitate painless IUD insertion without tenaculum or hysterometer. Study: A prospective, interventional, single-arm post-marketing clinical follow-up study evaluating copper IUD insertion procedure using Yanae® associated with CrossGlide™ technology in women desiring long-term contraception. Methods: This prospective, interventional, multicenter study enrolled 167 women, evaluating Yanae's efficacy and safety in IUD insertion. Participants underwent IUD insertion using Yanae, and pain levels were assessed using a Visual Analog Scale (VAS-10 cm). Results: Yanae successfully performed IUD insertions in 88.62% of participants without using a tenaculum or vulsellum, achieving a 100% rate without a hysterometer. The median duration of the procedure was 50 seconds, and participants reported minimal pain, with an average pain score of 1.48. Satisfaction rates were notably high, with 93.97% of participants and 96.98% of healthcare providers expressing satisfaction. There were no adverse events reported during the insertion process. Conclusion: Yanae® demonstrates safety and efficacy in IUD insertion, reducing pain and improving user experience. This innovation has the potential to increase IUD adoption and improve women's reproductive health.
