IUD (intrauterine device)

My comment:

At the hospital were I work in Minnesota, physicians and providers call it an/the "IUD", never "the device". The Hispanic population calls it the "T" (for it resemblance to the letter),

But of course Mr. Le Frapper! However, with the little context provided by Jeanie: "el dispositivo... porque LAS PACIENTES que lo pide [sic]..." clearly states a female patient asking for a device... in my experience, I have found that usually female patients tend to ask for IUDs or "la T"; hearing aids, ventilators or pacemakers are also devices that "las pacientes" do not tend to ask for in general. In the end, Jeanie can definitively provide us with additional context. Cheers!

Probablemente se trata de un dispositivo intrauterino, estonces es intrauterine device.
