Nexplanon insertion site – important changes are coming.
Official UK recommendations will be updated when they are published, however we recommend considering changing insertion site now, following US recommendations: ‘The insertion site is overlying the triceps muscle about 8-10 cm (3-4 inches) from the medial epicondyle of the humerus and 3-5 cm (1.25-2 inches) posterior to the sulcus (groove) between the biceps and triceps muscles.’
