Does ParaGard Cause Injuries During Removal?

There have been reports that ParaGard causes injuries during removal after pieces of the device break during this process. Some ParaGard users have reported breakage while having the device removed. This can result in serious complications which may require surgery for the removal of the broken pieces.

A study by the Open Journal of Clinical & Medical Case Reports analyzed a case series of broken IUDs and all examples involved one specific model - the ParaGard T 380A copper IUD. This study found several issues, including:

• 4 cases of embedded arms breaking during attempted removals
• 1 case of ring holding strings breaking during removal
• 1 case of embedded IUD on U/S with resistance on attempted removal
• 1 case of IUD breaking during removal in office

Complications Caused by ParaGard Breakage

When a ParaGard IUD breaks during the removal process, the patient may suffer from serious complications. Investigations have revealed that the arms of these devices sometimes break at the shoulder during the removal process. When this happens, fragments from the device can embed themselves within the uterine cavity. In some cases, these fragments may puncture through the cavity entirely.

ParaGard breakage often results in necessary surgery for the patient, in which these fragments are surgically removed. This can lead to severe and debilitating injuries for the patient. Additionally, the surgery could cause future complications with becoming pregnant or prevent the patient from having vaginal births in the future.

Common complications that may be caused by ParaGard breakage during removal include:

• Uterine infections caused by embedded pieces of the device
• Bleeding, cramping, and pain inflicted by broken pieces
• Broken pieces moving to other organs and causing complications there
• Uterine lining or wall becomes perforated by broken pieces

20+ ParaGard Cases Filed in Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas (PCCP)

There have been roughly 20 ParaGard injury cases filed in the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas (PCCP). The plaintiffs in these cases won specific jurisdiction against Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc., Teva Women's Health, LLC, and Teva's Women's Health, Inc. This specific jurisdiction ruling allows plaintiffs from Pennsylvania and other states to prosecute ParaGard cases in the PCCP. The plaintiffs in these cases have alleged that they suffered injuries due to design and manufacturing defects found in ParaGard IUD products.
