I’d like to get a flex em but I’m not sure how the install process works. My Apex used a large needle, and I honestly thought their was a flex em in the same form factor, but I guess not.
Side question, is their any intention to move it to the same antenna design?
I’m always open to it but the LF antennas take many times more loops / turns than HF and it’s pretty ridiculous to try to get all the turns required into the space we’re talking about.
That’s what I figured, big needle is just so easy!
I purchased the FlexEM a couple years ago, But never installed it myself because I was not experienced with a scalpel, Last week I spontaneously did the install… First I used the flex needle to get it started then widened the entry with a scalpel then separated the layers with a Pritchard and stuck the implant in, I thought the butterfly bandages would hold it closed but they didn’t, I regret not buying a suture kit off Amazon.
It’s healing well and I’m happy with the install.
Butterflys work best when hemostats is achieved, and then you put tegaderm overtop to keep things together over a longer period of time.
So that’s exactly what I did, I think the failure was due to the weather being a hundred plus degrees and the adhesive just wasn’t able to stick to sweaty skin.
Yeah
