An antique contraceptive device dating
to 1926. In 1920 Walter Pust of Jena University developed this
contraceptive devices (preceding the Gräfenberg ring which was in
use from 1928). It initially consisted of a glass button, and later
as in this example an iodine impregnated celluloid cap (signed Dr Pust), to which was attached silk windings and a second coil made
from nylon or silk. It did not prevent normal periods and was
designed to be changed every 3 to 4 months. They were not that
successful and were associated with frequent infection and
expulsion. The box comes with its two original instruction leaflets
in German. |
