Multi-Safe is a reliable copper IUD without hormones, ideal for women who choose hormone-free contraception. You keep your natural cycle and have carefree sex. The Multi-Safe IUD has a horseshoe shape and is made of plastic and copper. The IUD is effective for 5 years and is more than 99% reliable. The Dutch College of General Practitioners prefers both the T-shaped (T-Safe) and horseshoe-shaped (Multi-Safe) copper IUD.

There are two variants of the Multi-Safe IUD: Multi-Safe and Multi-Safe short. Multi-Safe is suitable for women with a uterus larger than 6 centimetres. Multi-Safe short is suitable for women with a smaller uterus. Thus, there is a suitable Multi-Safe IUD for everyone. Both Multi-Safe IUDs are effective for 5 years and more than 99% reliable.

After insertion, the Multi-Safe IUD gradually releases copper and you are immediately protected against pregnancy. Multi-Safe is effective for five years, but you can of course use the IUD for a shorter period.

Functioning of the IUD:
- Copper paralyses the sperm cells and prevents the fertilisation of an egg
- Copper keeps an egg from implanting in the uterine wall

Multi-Safe also works as emergency contraception if placed within 5 days of unprotected sex. This prevents any fertilised egg from implanting in the uterine wall. A copper IUD is the most effective form of emergency contraception. More information on morning-after.co.uk.

Arrange a physical follow-up check-up six weeks after you had the IUD placed. Your healthcare provider will check that the IUD is properly in place and you can discuss any complaints.
