 Jaime Zipper was a Chilean physician and medical researcher best known for discovering the contraceptive/spermicidal properties of copper.

 

In the late 1960s and early 1970s, he found that copper released from an IUD causes a contraceptive effect largely by impairing sperm function in the uterus (reducing motility and viability).

 

 

                                  Proved the biological contraceptive effect of copper.
