Implanon Intradermal Implant Insertion

Prescribed pain relievers will be given once at the clinic. Prior to the procedure, doctors will need the patient medical history to discuss further information about the contraceptive method and assess whether a subdermal implant is suitable for the patient. A Kindred OBGYN will administer anesthesia on the arm area and an applicator will be used to insert the implant under the skin. The procedure is usually painless after induction of anesthesia. Since Implanon is thin and flexible it should be negligible after 7 days. An arm bandage will be applied after the procedure until day 5. Patients are advised to keep the wound clean and dry until it heals. Back-up contraception or condoms are recommended for the first 7 days.
