What is the Paragard IUD?
The Paragard IUD is a hormone-free device made of copper that is placed into the uterus during an office visit. Once in place, the device can help in preventing pregnancy at a 99% success rate without hormones for up to ten years! This device makes it easy for women to avoid hormone-based pregnancy prevention techniques and still prevent pregnancy in a no muss, no fuss way. The IUD stays in place and does not require any maintenance.
