Application

doctor removing protective cap from implant syringe
doctor postioning implant syringe
doctor performs a subcontaneous injection

After removing the safety clip and protective cap, the doctor positions the implant syringe and performs a subcutaneous injection into the puncture channel. Depressing the plunger fully, the implant is delivered into the needle channel initially, and then the needle automatically retracts from the tissue into the integrated needle guard. This ensures prevention of needle-related injuries and minimizes infection risks. Finally, the syringe can be disposed of properly.
