George O'Neil Double Naltrexone Implant

We began to use these in 2002.  The implant consists of pellets approximately 0.5cm x 0.5cm in size.  These are inserted under the skin using two syringes each containing ten pellets.  They will be inserted in the lower abdominal wall using a sterile procedure under local anaesthetic. A 2cm incision is made and the implant inserted. It will be closed with 4 sutures.
