In 1967, the intrauterine device (IUD) was typically T-shaped and made of plastic or a combination of plastic and metal. One of the most recognized designs from that era was the Dalkon Shield, which featured a unique design with a broad, flat shield and strings attached for removal. The IUDs of this time were often larger than modern versions and were designed primarily for long-term contraception, though they later came under scrutiny for safety and efficacy issues.
