They claim 2.5 million implants have been placed in 30 countries since 1998 - so I hardly think anyone is a guinea pig at this stage. I never placed Norplants when they were available, but I did remove many poorly placed ones. The Implanon seems to be an improved system. And in order to avoid poor placement of the implants, the FDA requires individual hands on training by the company before one can place them. As Mirena is becoming more popular, fewer and fewer patients are associating it with the Dalkon Shield debacle. May be the Implanon will catch on like the Mirena too?

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
