About Paragard®
Paragard® is an intrauterine device (IUD) inserted in a woman’s uterus as a form of birth control. The Cooper Companies has manufactured and distributed Paragard® since 2017 when they acquired the rights to the device from Teva Pharmaceutical Industries for approximately $1.1 billion. The IUD is not permanent and is designed to be retrieved from the uterus by a doctor at the end of the device’s life or earlier should a woman no longer need or want birth control.
Injury Risks
Paragard® has been linked to a series of health problems, most of which are associated with device fracture while implanted or during retrieval. The device is made of plastic (polyethylene and barium sulfate) and wrapped in thin copper coils. There are cases of both components of the device fracturing leading to serious injury. In some cases, device fracture as left women unable to have children in the future. When Paragard® does fracture, pieces may become lodged within a woman’s body. Removal of these broken pieces can require extensive and invasive surgery including hysterectomy.
