This trial is being completed to understand how the study "Clip" device works when assisting clinicians with Nexplanon removals. The study device clips to the skin to hold the implant still and raise the tip of the implant during removal. The study device may improve the process for removing under arm implants by decreasing procedure time and improving the ease and safety of the procedure. The results from this study will help the researchers understand whether the study device has the potential to simplify the removal procedure and make this form of birth control safer for patients.

Time frame: During the intervention/procedure/surgery
Pain based on the Wong-Baker FACES Pain rating scale from the removal of single rod contraceptive
Participants will be asked to rate the pain they experienced during the procedure. Subjects will choose the face that best illustrates the pain they experienced during the procedure. Each face corresponds to a value on a 0-10 scale, with a higher score corresponding to more pain.
