These are highly effective with failurerates of less than 1 per 1000 women per year. The T-shaped models with a surface area of 380mm2 of copper have the lowest failure rate. The effectiveness of copper IUCD is comparable to tubal sterilization however the effects of copper IUCD are reversible. It is the second most common method after sterlization.
