1. After opening the pack and removing the applicator from the wrapping, check that the implants are located in the window of the handle (D). If necessary, tap the protective cap on the needle (B) lightly with the finger to reposition them in the window. The applicator should be used immediately after opening the wrapping.
2. Disinfect the injection site in the area of the lateral abdominal wall. Then, after removing the protective case from the plunger (E), remove the protective cap from the injection needle (B).



3. Lift a fold of skin, and insert the needle approx. 3 cm into the subcutaneous tissue, holding the applicator immediately prior to puncture in a horizontal position or with the tip of the needle pointed slightly upwards. Withdraw the applicator about 1 to 2 cm prior to injection of the implants.



4. Fully depressing the plunger (C), inject the implants into the subcutaneous tissue.
Compress the puncture channel while withdrawing the needle, so that the implants are retained in the tissue.



5. To make certain that the implants have been injected check the tip of the plunger to see if it is visible at the tip of the needle.
