I refer to the recent correspondence in this Journal regarding the administration of local anaesthetic (LA) prior to intrauterine device (IUD) and intrauter-ine system (IUS) insertions. I am a clinical nurse specialist who has been fitting intrauterine contraceptives since the early 1990s and learnt to give LA initially with Luer syringes before we changed to dental syringes. I endorse the sentiments of Drs Hutt and Gray regarding LA and IUD fitting.
