Benefits of IUD TCu 380A
- The whole device comes in a sterile, easy-to-use, peelable pouch meant for single use only. Thus chances of infections are minimized. With its longer Loading Device (Consisting of Insertion Tube and Stylet / Inserter Rod), the use of Insertion Forceps is avoided, thus no fear of cross-contamination.
- This Postpartum Intrauterine Device is ideal for women who deliver at health care facilities and wish to either space or limit their subsequent pregnancies.
- IUDs have no effect on the quantity and quality of breast milk, a major concern of new mothers.
- IUD is as effective as tubal ligation in providing contraceptive protection. Postpartum IUD is the best alternative to tubectomy for couples who wish to keep their options open for future family expansion.
- Insertion after delivery avoids the discomfort related to interval insertion, some of the post-insertion side effects are masked by normal postpartum events (such as bleeding and cramps).
