Safety is, for sure,
the most important aspect of a contraceptive.
The safety and reliability of a contraceptive
method can be measured and is expressed by the
Pearl Index.
The Pearl Index states
the number of pregnancies in a group of 100 women
who used this contraceptive method for one year.
Patentex oval's Pearl Index is 0.3 - 1.6.
This means that of 100 women who used this contraceptive
method for 12 months, only 0.3 - 1.6 women became
pregnant. In other words, Patentex oval offers
98.4 - 99.7% safety against unwanted pregnancy.
Each number of the Pearl Index
stands for the result of a clinical study. The
lower these numbers are, the better the contraceptive
method is.
For Patentex oval, six clinical
studies with more than 10,000 women prove that
Patentex oval is safe and well-tolerated.
For a Pearl Index comparison
between different contraceptive methods, please

table.
