Is it possible to do an MRT with the copper chain?

Before you undergo a magnetic resonance examination (MRI) or an X-ray, you must tell your doctor that you are wearing a copper chain. The GyneFix® contains parts made of copper, but these are not magnetically active and therefore cannot cause problems during an MRI. Nevertheless, the physician should be informed in order to be able to interpret the results of the imaging correctly.

What is the difference to the spiral?

A GyneFix® differs from a spiral in its structure. In contrast to the spiral, the copper chain has no plastic parts, but the copper rings are strung together on a surgical thread. A GyneFix® is smaller than a conventional copper spiral and can therefore adapt better to the uterus.

Unlike a hormone coil, GyneFix® is hormone-free. There are therefore no hormone-related side effects. All information about the coil can be found here: Coil
