Assessment of Implanon insertion and removal.
Contraception 2008 November
OBJECTIVE: This report describes the proper technique and the time required for insertion and removal of Implanon.
METHODS: Implanon was inserted into 330 female volunteers for an assessment of efficacy, safety and tolerability over a 2-year period. Implanon was inserted subdermally using a unique, specially designed, preloaded, disposable applicator, and removal was accomplished either by the "pop-out" method or by grasping the implant with a small hemostat and removing it through a small incision.
RESULTS: The average length of time required for insertion was 0.5 min. The average length of time required for removal was 3.6 min. There were no reported pregnancies when Implanon was in situ.
CONCLUSION: Implanon is a single-rod subdermal contraceptive that is usually easily inserted and removed. Insertion and removal represent brief office procedures associated with a low rate of complications. Following proper insertion and removal procedures will minimize the possibility of complications.
