Like IUDs, contraceptive implants are a highly effective, reversible long-term method. New product technological improvements (resulting in 1 and 2 rod implants) have simplified insertion and removal making this an attractive product offering for providers. Additionally, because pelvic ex¬ams and vaginal contact are not required, some consumer and provider barriers are reduced.

Between July 2008 and June 2009, PSI served approximately 31,000 women with implants.
