3Daughters

About

3Daughters is a clinical development company focused on Evolutionary Healthcare for Women. Our first evolution is a frameless, magnetic, nonhormonal intrauterine device (IUD) based on physics and geometry for long-acting contraception. Our unique IUD was designed to improve upon the outdated T-shape frame of current IUDs that causes pain, perforation and expulsion. These problems lead to a ‘fear factor’ for women and practitioners inserting the device. Current IUDs also require dangling strings for retrieval- a nuisance factor for women and their partners. 3Daughters newly designed IUD conforms naturally to a woman’s body and will address the 'fear factor', pain and other problems of current IUDs …with no strings attached! Nearly all women use contraception in their lifetimes, and we plan to make it better.
