Chemical Reactions of the Copper Intrauterine Device
Fertility and Sterility, 1972This 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.

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.

Intrauterine device and maternal copper metabolism during lactation☆
Contraception, 2001The effects of intrauterine device (IUD) on maternal copper (Cu) metabolism during breastfeeding was studied in 95 volunteer mothers who chose to use non-hormonal contraceptive methods. They were divided into two groups that were inserted with the IUD-Cu 380A (n = 33), IUD-Cu 200B (n = 29), and a third group that did not use any IUDs served as control (

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.
