For those of you that don't know what this is, it is a contraceptive implant for women, that fits in the underside of the top of the arm.
I used to have an Implanon, but apparently this is it's new replacement.
The main difference between this one is it is inserted using a tiny machine, so that it is in the right place (unlike the old ones, where a doctor inserted my friends one too deep into her arm and she went to hospital to have it removed : s) and the fact that it shows up on x-rays. It also seems to be a bit longer in length (like a small plastic bendy tube that produces low does of Etonogestral), a bit thicker and is placed slightly higher up the arm than before.
I had mine put in the other day and now that the incision has healed, I don't have to think about it for another 3 years - perfect!
