The Implant
An implant is a device that is fitted into a woman's
arm. It releases hormones slowly into the blood
stream which prevent pregnancy. The uterine lining
does not thicken enough to support a fertilised egg,
and the cervical mucus thickens so that it is less
accommodating to the sperm. The implant was first
invented in the 1960s and has been re-developed
multiple times to make it as effective as possible.
