What is the Mona Lisa Cu375 Ro copper IUD used for?
- Long-term contraception for women of childbearing age who are not pregnant and have had a normal gynecological examination.
- Emergency contraception if unprotected sexual intercourse occurred less than 120 hours ago. Any associated pelvic infections must be taken into account.
- Postpartum and post-abortion contraception. The IUD may be inserted immediately following an induced abortion or a spontaneous miscarriage, or within 48 hours after a vaginal delivery, provided there is no sign of infection. In these cases, the risks associated with insertion are higher. Insertion may be delayed until uterine involution is complete—6 weeks after an abortion or vaginal delivery, and 12 weeks after a cesarean section.
The Mona Lisa Nt Cu375 Ro Copper IUD is an intrauterine device (IUD) consisting of a T-shaped body made of polyethylene and a copper wire wound around the vertical arm.The copper surface area is 375mm². Dimensions: Mona Lisa Cu375: 19.5 mm ± 1 mm wide and 34.8 mm ± 0.2 mm long.
The Mona Lisa Nt Cu375 device is suitable for uteri ranging in length from 6.5 to 9 cm.⁴⁸ The manufacturer recommends replacing this device every 5 years.*
- When properly inserted, the Mona Lisa IUD is effective and offers a high level of safety for women at low risk of sexually transmitted infections.
- The lateral arms are flexible and shaped so that the IUD adheres to the uterine fundus without deforming the uterine cavity or obstructing the fallopian tubes.
- Mona Lisa prevents pregnancy by interfering with fertilization.
- The contraceptive effect is likely due to a sterile inflammatory reaction to a foreign body that occurs in the uterus.
- An increase in white blood cells, prostaglandins, and enzymes is observed within the uterus and fallopian tubes. These changes affect sperm motility in the reproductive tract and thus limit their ability to fertilize an egg. The number of sperm in the fallopian tubes—the site of fertilization—is lower in women who use a copper IUD compared to those who do not use a copper IUD. Consequently, the primary mechanism of action of this method likely involves a change in the quality of sperm and eggs prior to fertilization.

How should this contraceptive be used correctly?
The Mona Lisa Nt Cu 375 Ro Copper IUD is inserted during a simple appointment by a general practitioner, a gynecologist, or a midwife.
Before insertion, it may be helpful to perform a hysterometry (a graduated rod is inserted into the uterus to assess its shape, size, and sensitivity). In general, IUD insertion causes little or no pain. Women who have never been pregnant may take pain medication 2 hours before insertion. The insertion itself is very quick; it takes less than a minute.
