The story was originally a tall tale to entertain delegates at a scientific conference on family planning; although it was later repeated as truth, it has no known historical basis. Precursors to IUDs were first marketed in 1902.
Use of interuterine devices was associated with high rates of infection; for this reason, they were condemned by the medical community. The first intrauterine device (contained entirely in the uterus) was described in a German publication in 1909, although the author appears to have never marketed his product. In 1929, Ernst Gräfenberg of Germany published a report on an IUD made of silk suture.

In 1929, Ernst Gräfenberg of Germany published a report on an IUD made of silk suture.
In 1930, Gräfenberg reported a lower pregnancy rate of 1.6% among 600 women using an improved ring wrapped in silver wire.
Copper's role in increasing IUD efficacy would not be recognized until nearly 40 years later. In 1934, Japanese physician Tenrei Ota developed a variation of Gräfenberg's ring that contained a supportive structure in the center.
The Allies did not learn of the work by Gräfenberg and Ota until well after the war ended. The first plastic IUD, the Margulies Coil or Margulies Spiral, was introduced in 1958.
The modern colloquialism "coil" is based on the coil-shaped design of early IUDs. The Lippes Loop, a slightly smaller device with a monofilament tail, was introduced in 1962 and gained in popularity over the Margulies device. The stainless steel single-ring IUD was developed in the 1970s and widely used in China because of low manufacturing costs.
The Chinese government banned production of steel IUDs in 1993 due to high failure rates (up to 10% per year). Howard Tatum, in the US, conceived the plastic T-shaped IUD in 1968.
It primarily works by killing the sperm. The copper IUD came into medical use in the 1970s.

Second-generation copper-T IUDs were also introduced in the 1970s.
The ParaGard consists of a T-shaped polyethylene frame wound with copper wire, along with two monofilament threads to aid in removal of the IUD. The ParaGard T 380A was developed in the 1970s by the Population Council and Finishing Enterprises Inc.
Robins Company and sold by Robins in the United States for three and a half years from January 1971 through June 1974, before sales were suspended by Robins on June 28, 1974, at the request of the FDA because of safety concerns following reports of 110 septic spontaneous abortions in women with the Dalkon Shield in place, seven of whom had died. Robins stopped international sales of the Dalkon Shield in April 1975. Tatum developed many different models of the copper IUD.

However, the effects of the copper IUD are reversible, which can be viewed as either an advantage or a disadvantage, depending on a person's goals for contraception. === Emergency contraception === It was first discovered in 1976 that the copper IUD could be used as a form of emergency contraception (EC).
In addition to T-shaped IUDs, there are also U-shaped IUDs (such as the Multiload) and 7-shaped Gravigard Copper 7 (with a mini version for nulliparous women introduced in the 1980s).
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and FEI began manufacturing it for distribution outside the United States in 1984.

On January 1, 2004, FEI Women's Health acquired the patent from the Population Council and U.S.
On November 10, 2005, Duramed Pharmaceuticals, a subsidiary of Barr Pharmaceuticals, acquired FEI Women's Health and ParaGard.
In Europe, copper IUD prevalence ranges from under 5% in the United Kingdom to over 10% in Denmark in 2006. == History == According to popular legend, Arab traders inserted small stones into the uteruses of their camels to prevent pregnancy during long desert treks.
A 2008 review of the available T-shaped copper IUDs recommended that the TCu 380A and the TCu 280S be used as the first choice for copper IUDs because those two models have the lowest failure rates and the longest lifespans.
On July 18, 2008, it was announced that Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd.
As of 2009, levels of IUD use in the United States are estimated to be 5.5%.
