The copper coil, also known as an IUD (intrauterine device), is a small, hormone-free contraceptive that’s placed inside your womb (uterus). It works by slowly releasing copper, which alters the environment in the uterus and fallopian tubes to prevent sperm from surviving or reaching an egg.

It’s one of the most effective forms of contraception available and can last for 5 to 10 years, depending on the type fitted. The IUD is a great option for those who prefer to avoid hormones or want reliable, long-term contraception that doesn’t require daily or monthly attention.

Fitting is done by a trained healthcare professional and only takes a few minutes. Once in place, it starts working immediately.
