Implanon and Nexplanon are birth control implants manufactured by Merck & Co. Although both perform the same function, Nexplanon is the newest model and has features that the Implanon device lacks.
Implanon and Nexplanon are plastic, matchstick-size devices implanted under the skin of a woman. When left in the body, they release etonogestrel, a hormone that stops ovulation.
When it is time to remove the Implanon implant, some have reported that the device has migrated and cannot be found to be removed. This means a woman has to face the risk of continuing to have the device in her body, which may lead to serious injuries or even death.
Merck & Co. has discontinued manufacturing Implanon and have replaced it with Nexplanon. This new device has barium sulphate added to it, which can be seen by an X-ray machine. If the device migrates, doctors will be able to spot where it moved. Additionally, this implant has a new applicator that allows for easier insertion.
Nexplanon is designed to remedy the Implanon defects. Unfortunately, this new device does not help the women that have had the Implanon implant.
If you are suffering from side effects caused by Implanon, contactZoll& Kranz, LLC by calling (888) 841-9623. We will confidentially evaluate your case free of charge.
ZK Law Note:Womens Health Advice says that it should take less than five minutes to remove an Implanon or Nexplanon device.
