How is Viadur inserted?
The Viadur implant is about the size of a matchstick and is inserted under the skin of a patient s upper inner arm. The doctor numbs the arm, makes a small incision and then places the Viadur implant under the skin. The incision is closed with special surgical tape and covered with a bandage. After Viadur is inserted, the patient should keep the site clean and dry for 24 hours and avoid heavy lifting and physical activity for 48 hours. After the cut has healed, the patient should be able to go back to his normal activities.
