1. A contraceptive device which releases spermicide and a pharmaceutically acceptable chelating agent during intravaginal placement in a female mammal comprising (a) an inert, flexible polymeric material formed into a configuration suitable for vaginal insertion and long term retention in the vagina and permeable to the release of said spermicide and a pharmaceutically acceptable chelating agent; (b) an effective amount of a 1-substituted imidazole spermicide or the pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts thereof, included within the matrix of said polymeric material, the imidazole having the formula ##STR## wherein: (i) R is alkyl of one to twelve carbon atoms, phenyl or phenyl-lower-alkyl of one to four carbon atoms wherein the phenyl ring is optionally substituted by one or more lower alkyl of one to four carbon atoms, lower alkoxy of one to four carbon atoms, halo or trifluoromethyl; R 2 together with R 3 is ethylenedithio or propylenedithio wherein the alkylene chain is optionally substituted by one lower alkyl of one to four carbon atoms; and n is 1, 2 or 3; (ii) R is cycloalkyl of five to seven carbon atoms or cycloalkylalkyl of six to ten carbon atoms; R 2 is hydrogen or lower alkyl of one to four carbon atoms; R 3 is alkyl of two to twelve carbon atoms, cycloalkyl of five to seven carbon atoms or cycloalkylalkyl of six to ten carbon atoms; and n is 1, 2 or 3; (iii) R is phenyl or phenyl-lower-alkyl of one to three carbon atoms wherein the phenyl ring is optionally substituted by one or more lower alkyl of one to four carbon atoms, lower alkoxy of one to four carbon atoms, halo or trifluoromethyl; R 2 is hydrogen or lower alkyl of one to four carbon atoms; R 3 is alkyl of one to twelve carbon atoms, phenyl-lower-alkyl of one to three carbon atoms wherein the phenyl ring is optionally substituted by one or more lower alkyl of one to four carbon atoms, lower alkoxy of one to four carbon atoms, halo, or trifluoromethyl; and n is 1, 2 or 3; (iv) R is alkyl of one to twelve carbon atoms; R 2 is hydrogen or lower alkyl of one to four carbon atoms; R 3 is hydrogen or alkyl of one to twelve carbon atoms; and n is 1, 2, 3 or 4; or (v) R and R 4 are each alkyl of one to twelve carbon atoms, alkenyl of two to twelve carbon atoms, phenyl, phenyl-lower-alkyl of one to four carbon atoms or phenyl-lower-alkyl of two to four carbon atoms wherein the phenyl ring is optionally substituted by one or more lower alkyl of one to four carbon atoms, lower alkoxy of one to four carbon atoms, halo, or trifluoromethyl; R 2 is hydrogen or lower alkyl of one to four carbon atoms; R 3 and X-R 4 wherein X is oxygen or sulfur; and n is 1, 2 or 3; and (c) an effective amount of a pharmaceutically acceptable chelating agent. 2. The device of claim 1 wherein the configuration is that of a ring of suitable size to fit into the vagina. 3. The device of claim 1 wherein the configuration is that of a diaphragm of suitable size to fit into the vagina. 4. The device of claim 1 wherein the configuration is that of a cervical cap. 5. The device of claim 1 wherein the polymeric material is formed from silicone elastomer. 6. The device of claim 1 wherein said polymeric material is formed by polymerization carried out in the presence of an effective amount of the spermicide and an effective amount of a pharmaceutically acceptable chelating agent. 7. The device of claim 1 comprising (a) an inert, flexible polymeric material formed into a configuration suitable for vaginal insertion and long term retention in the vagina and permeable to the release of said spermicide and a pharmaceutically acceptable chelating agent; (b) between 0.5% and 5% of the 1-substituted imidazole spermicide or the pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts thereof, included within the matrix of said polymeric material; and (c) between 0.1% and 0.75% of a pharmaceutically acceptable chelating agent. 8. A device of claim 7 wherein the pharmaceutically acceptable chelating agent is selected from the group consisting of polyacid derivatives of ethylenediamine, enamine derivatives of amino acids, and compounds containing hydroxy or phenolic hydroxy group and carboxy groups. 9. A device of claim 8 wherein the pharmaceutically acceptable chelating agent is a polyacid derivative of ethylenediamine. 10. A device of claim 9 wherein the pharmaceutically acceptable chelating agent is ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid. 11. The device of claim 10 wherein the spermicide is selected from the group consisting of 1-[(3,3-ethylenedithio)-n-octyl]imidazole;
