Evolutionary Healthcare for Women

3Daughters is a women’s healthcare company developing an ergonomic, magnetic intrauterine device (IUD) for contraception. 

The basic T-shaped design of the IUD has not significantly changed in six decades of use and has many problems associated with its use. It can cause significant insertion pain, expulsion, and uterine perforation, along with the nuisance factor of the attached strings for IUD retrieval. 

The evolutionary design of 3Daughters’ frameless IUD will conform to a woman’s body, making the IUD experience more comfortable for the 160M+ women worldwide who currently use this form of effective and reliable contraception.
