The CU-T IUD works by releasing copper into the uterus, which creates a hostile environment for sperm, preventing them from reaching and fertilizing an egg.
The copper affects the uterine lining, preventing implantation if fertilization were to occur.
This makes the CU-T IUD a highly effective and reliable form of birth control.
The CU-T IUD is one of the most reliable methods of contraception, with a very low failure rate.
