Uterine perforation by copper intrauterine device

European Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology and Reproductive Biology, 1984
Sixteen cases with uterine perforation by a copper intrauterine device (IUD) are presented. In 13 cases the IUD had been inserted within 5 months following delivery, and in 6 cases the insertion had been painful. Missing string was the first sign in most cases. Laparatomy was performed in all cases to remove the IUD.

Endometrial morphology with copper-bearing intrauterine devices

Contraception, 1976
Electron microscopic studies of copper (Cu)-T-IUD-bearing endometria using both scanning and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) are extended and CU distribution utilizing an energy dispersive X-ray analyzer is examined. Subjects were 7 39-51 year old patients who had CU-T or CU-7 (220 mm) IUDs inserted 2-54 days prior to hysterect omy.

Copper intrauterine contraceptive device and pregnancy rate

Advances in Contraception, 1994
Between August 1983 and August 1992, 1995 women aged 20-43 years were fitted with 2736 copper intrauterine contraceptive devices (MLCu250, MLCu375, Nova-T, Gravigard, Anticon). Insertion of the IUD was performed during menstruation by a skilled team of gynecologists. The women were instructed to self-check the IUD tail after each menstrual period.

Chemical Reactions of the Copper Intrauterine Device

Fertility and Sterility, 1972
This study investigated the reactions of metallic copper with various biologic substrates to account for the loss of metallic copper in the IUD. Purified copper foil of .005 cm thickness was cut into strips and placed in solutions of the substrates then incubated at 37 degrees C.

Menstrual blood loss with copper intrauterine devices

Contraception, 1974
Abstract 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).

The Copper Intrauterine Device and Its Mode of Action

New England Journal of Medicine, 1975
Copper bearing intrauterine devices have become the most reputable effective and safe IUDs available. The reaction between the copper and the body prevents fertilization. An infiltration of polymorphonuclear leukocytes occur in the uterine lumen as a result of the IUD. The daily released copper is equivalent to 1% of the copper taken orally by day.
