Now the makers of a proposed new implant called Implanon are hoping to capture the market for long-acting contraceptives with only one rod instead of six and a custom-made, disposable inserter to ease insertion and removal.
After achieving competency of implant insertion and removal on the arm models, CHEWs proceeded to insert implants under supervision on actual clients in selected facilities.
A nationally imposed checklist for safe urinary catheter insertion and removal could sharply reduce the risk to patients and the costs of hospital care.
A crucial element of the invention was the use of a new processor, the Fairchild 8; another was a mechanism that allowed for repeated insertion and removal of cartridges without damaging the machine's semiconductors.
This paper deals with the technical aspects of balloon insertion and removal.
This report describes the proper technique and the time required for insertion and removal of Implanon™.
In addition, the use of nasogastric tube should be carefully considered, because its insertion and removal is associated with risk.
Catheter and localization, the use of ultrasound, date of insertion and removal were collected, major bleeding, pneumothorax, and catheter bacteremia.
Torque-time curves of insertion and removal were recorded at the rate of 1000 samples/s by a torque analyzer.
One of the most critical design factors was that the device must meet the stringent insertion and removal robustness requirement.
Locomotor circling appeared to be dependent on the speed of insertion and removal, but the suppression of rearing and the acquisition of CTA were independent of speed of insertion and removal.
