Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The safety and efficacy of a subdermal implant retrieval device (RemovAid) is investigated in a population of 25 women seeking removal of their palpable contraceptive implants.

The primary endpoint of the device is to evaluate the performance of the device, specifically its success rate in removing palpable contraceptive implants. The device shall be able to fixate at least 80% of palpable implants, and successfully remove at least 90% of these implants.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Similar to the REVALID and REVALID02 investigations, the REVALID03 investigation aims to recruit a total of 25 women with a palpable contraceptive implant due for removal, in order to obtain at least 20 successful fixations.

The implant retrieval device aims to standardize and simplify the implant removal procedure. There is no comparator in the investigation. Descriptive data will be recorded, all recruited subjects will be exposed to the investigational medical device (IMD) The primary endpoint is the percentage of fixated implants that are successfully removed without the use of additional tools.
