  • Title: Norplant contraceptive implants--a comparison of capsules versus rods in Singapore.
    Author: Singh K, Viegas OA, Ratnam SS.
    Journal: Singapore Med J; 1990 Dec; 31(6):568-72. PubMed ID: 2126394.
    Abstract:
    The NORPLANT system is one of the most modern long acting steroidal fertility regulatory delivery systems to be introduced. It consists of six silicone capsules. The NORPLANT-2 rod system on the other hand consists of only 2 rods. The comparative study undertaken suggests that the NORPLANT-2 rod system is highly effective, safe and acceptable as the NORPLANT six capsule system in Singapore. It would thus appear that the NORPLANT-2 rod system as compared to the NORPLANT six capsule system has a great potential for acceptability in terms of ease of insertion and removal.
