Menstrual blood loss with copper intrauterine devices
Contraception, 1974Abstract Menstrual blood loss was estimated quantitatively by Halberg & Nilson method for 336 women: 145 normal controls (240 cycles); 91 fitted with Cu-devices (349 collected cycles); 50 fitted with Lippes loops (224 cycles) and 50 on combined steroid contraceptive therapy (236 cycles).

Metallic copper as an intrauterine contraceptive adjunct to the “T” device
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1969Abstract The addition of metallic copper to a simple IUCD has been shown in humans to increase significantly the contraceptive effectiveness. A series of correlations between physical characteristics of an IUCD and its clinical reactivity have been proposed and partially tested.

Secondary cervical perforation by the Copper-T intrauterine device
European Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology and Reproductive Biology, 1979Five cases of cervical perforation have been observed in women with a Copper-T IUCD, over a period of 5 yr. In all cases, the distal end of the stem (vertical limb) of the T had perforated through the cervical wall into one of the fornices of the vagina. Only 2 cases had symptoms leading to the discovery of the device, while the other 3 were discovered

INTRAUTERINE CONTRACEPTION USING THE COPPER-SEVEN DEVICE
The Lancet, 1972Abstract A preliminary study of 342 women over 1196·5 women-months of use of the copper-seven device is described; 32·2% were nulliparous, the rest were multiparous. Insertion was easy in 85%, there were minor problems in 9%, and difficulties in the remaining 6%.

Reactive molecules and microorganisms and copper intrauterine devices
International Journal of Gynecology & Obstetrics, 2005Copper in the intrauterine device (IUD) has been shown to have bactericidal activity in addition to enhancing contraceptive activity. However the exact mechanism of antimicrobial action of copper IUD is not known. The increase in the number of polymorphonuclear leukocytes in the endometrium following IUD insertion has been documented.

Copper intrauterine devices in the management of secondary amenorrhea
International Journal of Gynecology & Obstetrics, 2006Secondary amenorrhea has always been a challenge for the gynecologist. The incidence is reported to be between 1.4% and 3% in the general population [1,2], and its causes can be hypothalamic (62%), pituitary (15%), ovarian (12%), or anatomical (7%). Intrauterine devices have been used to treat Asherman syndrome. Lately, copper intrauterine devices have

Corrosion of a new coppergold or copperplatinum intrauterine device
Journal of Biomedical Materials Research, 1982AbstractIt has been shown previously that supplementing plastic intrauterine devices (IUDs) with copper wire enhances the antifertility effect of the device. The use of copper intrauterine contraceptive devices, however, is currently limited to two to three years, mainly because of wire fragmentation, which was observed as early as after eight months ...

Serum Copper in Long-Term Users of Copper Intrauterine Devices
Fertility and Sterility, 1980A study was undertaken to determine whether long-term use of a copper intrauterine device (IUD) was associated with any alteration in the serum copper levels and thereby whether absorption of copper from the device in utero could result in copper toxicity.

PERFORATION OF THE UTERUS BY THE COPPER-T AND COPPER-7 INTRAUTERINE CONTRACEPTIVE DEVICES
Obstetrical & Gynecological Survey, 1975Abstract. Uterine perforation in patients wearing the Copper‐T and the Copper‐7 intrauterine contraceptive devices has been studied. In Bollnäs, Sweden, three perforations occurred in 1156 insertions of the Copper‐7, and in New York, USA, six perforations occurred in 1153 insertions of the Copper‐T.
