Site of implantation
After appropriately restraining the animal to allow access to the ear, cleanse the skin at the implant needle puncture site.
The site of implantation is the soft skin on the posterior aspect of the ear.
The implant should be placed as far from the head as is possible without inserting the implanter into the area where the skin is firmly attached to the cartilage.
THE IMPLANT MUST NOT BE PLACED CLOSER TO THE HEAD THAN THE EDGE OF THE CARTILAGE RING FARTHEST FROM THE HEAD.
The location of insertion of the needle is a point toward the tip of the ear and at least a needle length away from the intended deposition site.
Care should be taken to avoid injuring the major blood vessels or cartilage of the ear.
