Nexplanon Insertion

Nexplanon is a small, pliable birth control implant, which measures just 4 centimeters in length. Your OB-GYN will place it inconspicuously under the skin on the inside of your upper arm. It provides up to three years of continuous pregnancy prevention without the need for a daily, weekly, or monthly routine.

How is it inserted?

Although the insertion procedure is quick and simple, the Nexplanon contraceptive implant should only be inserted by a specially-trained health care professional.

Following is a quick summary of the procedure:

• It will be inserted while you’re lying on your back with the arm that the implant is to be inserted into is slightly bent at the elbow and turned outward.
• The site for the insertion will be disinfected and the area will be numbed with a local anesthetic.
• The skin that covers the site will be stretched slightly to allow the needle to be inserted immediately beneath it.
• Your OB-GYN will insert the Nexplanon implant and then check to ensure that it is positioned properly.
• A sterilized dressing and a pressure bandage – which can be removed after 24 hours – will be placed over the area of the insertion to minimize bruising.
• Your OB-GYN will provide a leaflet and a user card detailing the location of the implant, the date it was inserted and the latest date that it should be removed or replaced to continue preventing pregnancy.

Once inserted, Nexplanon implants are over 99% effective, and can be removed at any time.
