Since its introduction Implanon, the single-rod contraceptive implant developed by Organon, has been received positively by physicians and users. More than 300,000 women worldwide are currently using this method of contraception. However, a small number of cases have been reported in which the implant has not been inserted in accordance with the insertion procedure as described in the Implanon package insert. This can result in non-palpable implants that necessitate the use of other localization techniques.
The information offered on this site is intended as a guide to help physicians insert, and subsequently locate and remove implants. If you require additional information or support, please contact the local Organon affiliate in your country.
Please note that in order to support appropriate use of Implanon, Organon has established a training program in all countries where this product is available to familiarize physicians and other health care professionals with all aspects of its use. Participants of the training program have the opportunity to practice insertion and removal techniques under professional guidance. Organon strongly recommends all physicians interested in Implanon to take part in this training program. Further details are available from your local Organon affiliate. |
