Preliminary Evaluation of a "Clip" Device for Contraceptive Implant Removal

Evaluation of a "Clip" Device Added to the Current Standard Removal of Contraceptive Implant to Improve Stability of the Implant, Shorten Removal Time, and Increase the Ease of Removal

This trial is being completed to understand how the study "Clip" device works when assisting clinicians with Nexplanon removals. The study device clips to the skin to hold the implant still and raise the tip of the implant during removal. The study device may improve the process for removing under arm implants by decreasing procedure time and improving the ease and safety of the procedure.

The results from this study will help the researchers understand whether the study device has the potential to simplify the removal procedure and make this form of birth control safer for patients.
