The new copper intrauterine devices (IUDs), type IUB, are small spherical shape memory devices. They remain the most expensive intrauterine devices on the market and are not covered by the French health insurance system. No study has shown their superiority over the other copper IUDs in either contraceptive efficacy or safety. T-shaped IUDs remain the reference.
