Norplant is a contraceptive implant, consisting of six small plastic rods that are surgically placed under the skin of the upper arm. The plastic rods remain in place for up to five years, during which time the rods slowly release progestin (a female hormone) into the body.
Norplant has an average failure rate of 2.3%. That means that every year, about 1 in 50 Norplant users experience an unexpected pregnancy.
The effectiveness varies depending on the characteristics of the user. Teens, women over 198 lbs, those who have had the implant for several years will experience more failures than listed above.
Norplant is no longer available in the US. Learn more at http://www.contracept.org/norplant.php
