New contraceptive implants are becoming available to family planning programs around the world--the one-rod system Implanon®, the two-rod system Jadelle®, and in some countries Sino-Implant (II)®, also two rods.
By 2008 Norplant®, the six-capsule implant system will no longer be available. Like Norplant, the new implants are highly effective at
preventing pregnancy, and, like Norplant, they alter women’s bleeding patterns. Their most important advantage over Norplant is easier and quicker insertion and removal.
