The Copper Intrauterine Device and Its Mode of Action
New England Journal of Medicine, 1975Copper 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.

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%.

Copper on Intrauterine Devices Stimulates Leukocyte Exudation
Science, 1972Metallic copper in the uterine or abdominal cavities of rats or monkeys stimulates an impressive local exudation of polymorphonuclear leukocytes. This cellular response to copper persists for at least 7 months, without significant local tissue damage or detectable systemic effects on the test animal. This finding provides a possible explanation for the

COPPER INTRAUTERINE CONTRACEPTIVE DEVICES IN ADOLESCENT NULLIPARAE
BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, 1978SummaryCopper intrauterine contraceptive devices (IUCDs) were used in 243 young nulligravidae attending a gynaecological clinic for schoolgirls in Uppsala between March 1973 and June 1975; 226 of these girls (93 per cent) were seen again during December 1975 making a total of 3138 months of observation.

Copper release from copper-T intrauterine devices
Contraception, 1976Abstract In this investigation of the copper loss in utero from the Copper-T, the release rate was estimated by iodometric titration and the corrosion was microscopically examined in ground plastic casts. The release rate was determined in 28 preweighed Copper-Ts with a surface area of 100–400 mm 2 during the first month, and in 60 Copper-T-200s (TCu-

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.

The Intrauterine Device (IUD) is the most commonly used form of reversible contraception throughout the world [1], and in some countries it accounts for 40% of the contraception used by women [2]. In the United States (US), current use is 0.8% of the contraceptive population [3].

Clinical Experience with the Copper 7 Intrauterine Device
Fertility and Sterility, 1978This paper reports further observations on our previous study of 203 Copper 7 intrauterine insertions performed in 199 women. There have now been accumulated 3799 woman-months of use. At least a 2-year period of observation has been attained from first insertion until these data were analyzed.

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

A statistical study of the copper T and copper 7 intrauterine devices
Contraception, 1976The performance of the Copper T and Copper 7 IUDs over a 3-year period was assessed. A total of 581 women received the Copper T and 297 received the Copper 7. Net cumulative event rates were determined at 12 24 and 36 months/100 women. Both groups were similar with respect to age and parity.
