What is Silverline?
Silverline - The new IUD with Silver
Silverline is a unique contraceptive device that redefines the comfort and convenience of using a contraceptive method. It is a perfect solution for couples who want to space their children or are looking for a long-term reversible family planning method with absolute comfort.
Silverline is a small, soft, flexible Y-shaped frame with a copper wire wound around the vertical stem. The copper wire has a silver core, which enhances the properties of the device. Specifically trained health care providers insert the device into a women’s uterus through her vagina and cervix. Silverline Cu 380 Ag helps a couple prevent pregnancy for five years and Silverline Cu 200 Ag protects for three years.
Silverline’s unique Silver Core helps ensure higher effectiveness as it prevents breakdown of the copper wire. Dissolution of the wire stops once it reaches the Silver Core, as Silver does not dissolve in contact with uterine fluids.
Silverline is a product of Pregna International Ltd. India & WHO-GMP, CE (Silverline Cu 380Ag), ISO 9001, ISO 13485 certified. Pregna is one of the world's largest IUD manufacturer, supplier & exporter.
How does it work?
Silverline prevents pregnancy by interference with sperm transport (thus reducing the number and viability of sperm), ovum development or transport, fertilization and implantation. The copper acts as spermicidal adding to the contraceptive effect. Further the endometrium undergoes morphological and biochemical changes that make it unsuitable for implantation of zygote.

Silverline Vs Other IUDs
The main difference between Silverline and other copper T intrauterine devices is the silver core that is used in the copper wire. This silver core prevents the fragmentation of the copper wire, thereby improving the performance of the device. Also, the thinner insertion tube used for Silverline results in lesser pain during insertion.
