        abstract = {The Intrauterine Ballerine is a next-generation frameless copper intrauterine contraceptive device developed to overcome anatomical and clinical limitations of conventional framed intrauterine devices (IUDs). By adopting a flexible three-dimensional spherical configuration, the device is designed to adapt dynamically to uterine cavity morphology, thereby potentially reducing pain, bleeding, malposition, and expulsion. This comprehensive review critically examines the background, device design, insertion technique, biological mechanism, clinical efficacy, safety, patient-centered outcomes, comparative performance, and future research needs, with relevance for international contraceptive practice.},
