Inserting the implants

First anaesthetise the animal.

Without injector :

• Disinfect the area receiving the implant.
• Make an incision a few mm in width in the skin of the back.
• Using forceps and working in the cranial direction, detach the skin from the fascia over about 2 cm.
• Insert the implant into the resulting pocket.
• Close the incision with a biocompatible staple or a few stitches.

With injector :

• Disinfect the injection area
• Pinch and raise the skin on the back to make a fold.
• Insert the needle at the base of the fold and push it in about 2 cm towards the neck, keeping it parallel with the animal's back
• Press on the injector's piston to eject the implant
• Withdraw the needle carefully, making certain that the implant remains in place
