The History of Contraception

The Dittrick Medical History Center at Case Western University in Cleveland has a new History of Contraception Museum. The Center recently received 650 artifacts in the Percy Skuy Collection, the most comprehensive of its kind in the world. Skuy is the past president of Ortho Pharmaceutical in Canada.

On display at the new museum are such vintage intrauterine devices as the as the "Russian Cross," "Butterfly," Supercoil," "Sea Tangle Tent" and the ominous "10 Armed Device."
