The ParaGard T 380A was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1984 and became available for use in 1988. It is still the only copper IUD approved for use in the U.S., and is used by 1.3% of women of reproductive age.
Usage in other countries has been determined by surveys of married women of reproductive age. In this population, IUD use ranges from 5% in Belgium, to 18% in Scandinavia, 30% in Russia and China, and 40% in Kazakhstan. A wider variety of IUDs is available in Europe than in the United States. In Great Britain, for example, seven brands are available: Flexi-T 300, Multi-Safe 375, Multi-Load Cu 375, Neo-Safe T380, Nova T 380, T-Safe 380A, and GyneFix - also called FlexiGard 330 or CuFix PP330.
