The procedure for Implanon insertion typically involves the following steps:
1. The healthcare provider will first discuss the benefits and risks of Implanon with the patient and obtain informed consent.
2. The provider will then clean the insertion site (usually the inner side of the non-dominant upper arm) with an antiseptic solution.
3. Local anesthesia may be administered to numb the area and reduce discomfort during the procedure.
4. The healthcare provider will use a special device called an inserter to place the Implanon implant just under the skin. The implant is a small, flexible rod about the size of a matchstick.
5. Once the implant is inserted, the healthcare provider will cover the insertion site with a small bandage or adhesive strip.
6. The patient will be advised to keep the insertion site clean and dry for a few days and to avoid heavy lifting or strenuous activities for a short period of time.
7. The healthcare provider will provide instructions on how to check the implant periodically to ensure it is in place and functioning properly.
Overall, the procedure for Implanon insertion is relatively quick and simple, usually taking only a few minutes to complete.

Materials:
- Implanon implant (small, flexible rod)
- Local anesthetic (lidocaine)
- Insertion guide
- Sterile gloves
- Alcohol wipes
- Sterile drape
Steps:
1. Patient Preparation:
- Explain the procedure and obtain informed consent.
- Instruct the patient to lie down and place their non-dominant arm (for right-handed people) straight out with the palm facing up.
- Position the patient comfortably and ensure they are relaxed.
2. Site Preparation:
- Clean the insertion site on the inner side of the patient's upper arm with alcohol wipes and allow it to dry.
- Place a sterile drape over the arm, exposing only the insertion site.
3. Local Anesthesia:
- Inject local anesthetic (lidocaine) into the skin and subcutaneous tissue at the insertion site.
4. Insertion:
- Open the Implanon packaging using sterile technique.
- Hold the insertion guide with the left hand and locate the 6-millimeter mark on the guide.
- Insert the guide into the subcutaneous tissue at the anesthetized site, parallel to the skin surface.
- Advance the guide until the 6-millimeter mark is flush with the skin.
5. Implant Placement:
- Hold the Implanon implant in the right hand and insert it into the open end of the insertion guide.
- Slide the implant through the guide and into the subcutaneous tissue.
- Remove the insertion guide.
6. Verification:
- Palpate the implant beneath the skin to ensure it is in place.
7. Closure:
- Apply a small bandage to the insertion site.
8. Post-Insertion Instructions:
- Advise the patient to keep the insertion site clean and dry for the first few days.
- Instruct the patient to return for a follow-up appointment in 4-6 weeks to check the implant's placement and provide any necessary information.
