I do not know anything about them. Try searching the web for info. Using the technical name and or the manufacturer's name will probably be good starting search strings. Planned Parenthood might offer some info.

Dear members (Brooks, Marshall, James et al?) A friend of mine who is a medical pathologist, has a sickly daughter who uses a plastic contraceptive loop (not the old "Copper-T" contraceptive loop). She maintains that this plastic contraceptive loop works by creating a low grade infection - so if a fertilized egg comes into contact with the loop, it is infected and rendered useless. She says that no medical doctor will tell you this, but this is apparently how this loop works. The question is this: Will CS clean out the infection (I am certain it would) and thus render the loop useless in its contraceptive function? . She says she'd rather have her daughter sick than pregnant! (at this stage). Can anyone shed more light on this? Steve
