Copper T insertion is putting in an IUD (intrauterine device) of copper into the uterus. The small, T-shaped,non-hormonal contraceptive is a very effective long-term, reversible contraceptive (LARC). Copper ions released therein promote an inflammatory response in the uterus, making it toxic to sperm and eggs; thus, it acts primarily to prevent fertilisation. It also influences the endometrium lining,becoming inhospitable to implantation in case of fertilisation. A copper T can prevent pregnancy continuously for 10-12 years once inserted by a healthcare professional.
