This is probably a question for Amal I guess.
I’m looking at the Industry & Logistics range of embeddable glass tags from HID. Unsurprisingly, all the distributors of those tags sell them as asset tracking devices for… industrial and logistics purposes. So, not intended for meat.
But in the PDF from HID, it does say the housing material is bioglass. Why would they say that if the only purpose is to stick them inside objects? Is there some subtlety I’m unaware of with respect to what that terminology means?
The layperson I am thinks bioglass is bio-compatible, but maybe it means something else in marketingspeak - like it’s been made using only free-range sand that’s been fed bio corn or something Or maybe it just plain doesn’t mean anything at all…
I’m tempted to order a HID Glass Tag SLIx 4x22mm and have it autoclaved and installed by my favorite piercer. I’m not even sure it’s autoclave-safe, but I suppose if it still works after coming out and things don’t look all melted inside, it should be okay. But I won’t do any of that if the glass is unsafe or unknown.
