The T-SAFE CU 380A QL is a highly effective, hormone-free intrauterine device (IUD) designed to provide long-term pregnancy prevention for up to 10 years. It features a classic T-shaped frame made of polyethylene with barium sulfate for X-ray visibility, and has a total copper surface area of approximately 380 mm². The copper continuously releases ions that alter cervical mucus and impair sperm movement, helping prevent fertilization while allowing natural ovulation to continue.

The “QL” (QuickLoad) system includes a streamlined insertion mechanism that allows for quicker and more accurate placement by a trained healthcare provider. Its smooth, embedded copper sleeves support better uterine fit and a reduced risk of expulsion.

Because it contains no hormones, this IUD is an excellent choice for individuals who cannot or prefer not to use hormonal contraception. Once inserted, it provides a low-maintenance, “set-and-forget” form of birth control with immediate return of fertility after removal.
