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].

Appendiceal perforation by Copper-7 intrauterine contraceptive device
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1981PIP: Uterine perforation is known to be associated with IUD use. Usually the perforation occurs upon insertion, but the IUD can become embedded in the uterus and later be forced through the wall by uterine contractions. On occasion, IUDs have been noted in abdominal viscera, most often the sigmoid colon.

URTICARIA SECONDARY TO A COPPER INTRAUTERINE DEVICE
International Journal of Dermatology, 1976ABSTRACT: A 24‐year‐old woman developed an acute urticarial reaction secondary to a copper intrauterine contraceptive device. Allergy to copper was proven by scratch tests. The condition cleared with removal of the IUD.

Copper intrauterine contraceptive devices and serum essential metals
Advances in Contraception, 1988Serum levels of the essential metals, iron (Fe), copper (Cu), magnesium (Mg), zinc (Zn), and calcium (Ca), were determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometry in one hundred and twenty randomly selected adult Nigerian female volunteers fitted with copper T or Delta T intrauterine contraceptive devices (IUDs) for a period of 3-18 months, and their ...

Local tissue effects of copper-containing intrauterine devices
Fertility and Sterility, 2003Our findings indicate that during the increase of the local copper ion flux the copper ions form a complex with the reagent dithizone and penetrate the region around the cells or the cells themselves. According to our hypothesis not only the presence of an IUD but also copper ions damage the endometrium. A trace amount of copper ions that enter locally

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.

Hair copper in intrauterine copper device users.
IRCS journal of medical science, 1984The antifertility effect of copper-bearing IUDs is based on continuous release of copper, which is a result of the reaction between the metal and the uterine secretions. Released cupric ions collect in the endometrium and in the uterine fluid but significant accumulation has not been found in the bloodstream or elsewhere. Following Laker's suggestion

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.

Active oxygen species in copper intrauterine device users
Contraception, 1993The mechanism of copper intrauterine device (Cu IUD) in limiting intrauterine infections is poorly understood. Copper ions may enhance the release of reactive oxygen species which are deleterious to the microbes. The present study compares the oxidative responses of adherent cell population of uterus prior to Cu-T insertion and at different post ...

Copper Particles From Intrauterine Contraceptive Device
Archives of Dermatology, 1974To the Editor.— Recently, in the process of evaluating the inflammatory response to different surface textures of plastic, our attention was drawn to the article by Dr. Barranco on eczematous dermatitis caused by internal exposure to copper published in theArchives(106:386, 1972). The results of our studies confirmed his observation that small amounts
