Interesting read! Thanks :wink:
Didn’t know that silicone subdermal implants predated the chips by several years…

I remember seeing a post about Stelarc having an implant in the 90s :thinking:.
Let me double check this for you…—»

This one in the Wiki?

1998 - The first experiments with a radio-frequency identification (RFID) implant were carried out in 1998 by the British scientist Kevin Warwick.[1][2][3][4][5] His implant was used to open doors, switch on lights, and cause verbal output within a building. After nine days the implant was removed and has since been held in the Science Museum in London.

Have a question @amal what happen if you take a shower does the implant get damage I try to research myself in the say it doesn’t get damaged I want to hear it from you better because you was the first person who create an implant?

Will a quote from Amal be satisfactory for you?
If so :arrow_heading_down:

Once an x-series tag is placed under the skin, you can expect some bruising and slight swelling. The skin wound should scab over and stop bleeding within 5 to 30 minutes. The swelling should go down within 2 to 24 hours, but bruising may remain for a few days. After swelling goes down, you should notice slightly better read range performance. After the first day, you should be in pretty good shape, happily using your tag. You can wash your hands normally and take showers, etc.

Q: What about aftercare and the healing process?

To clarify, he’s not exactly the first, he helped popularise it and holds the secret sauce to how to make flex implants.

But it’s basically fully encased in either glass or special biopolymer (basically, plastic that your body doesn’t attack). Both are watertight.

The implant is at no risk of damage from general living. I’ve hit my flex one a few times pretty hard and no issues.

Anything capable of physically harming an implant (at least one made by Amal) will do serious damage to your tissue at the same time, and that’s the bigger concern.

Another thing, Hector, as your question isn’t actually a bad one. Basically, most water damage to devices is from a functioning device with battery. The water, which is generally impure and contains mineral salts and the like that make it conduct electricity and corrode the sensitive connections, does it’s damage on the parts of the device that are either powered or something like a LCD.

As all our implants lack a battery, there’s nothing to do the most damage. Corrosion could occur, but the implant is still sealed (and our antennae are generally magnet wire and, as such, coated with enamel).

Edit: hah, thanks pilgrim, I posted after you made the move.

Like to add a little thing here, since the Q&A above is about x-series only - with a scalpel-and-suture Flex-install, you might wait a bit before letting the suture get wet. At least on the first few days, it’s a good idea to keep a waterproof plaster on the suture when having a shower or such.
If sutures have to stay dry all the time (until the threads are out) or not seems to be a topic where even different doctors and hospitals have very different opinions…

Still, getting the suture wet even on the first day won’t do any damage to your implant - you might just, in worst case scenario, get some germs into a not-yet-closed wound and get an infection. So, human body fucked up, implant still fine :wink:

Was the North Sense recommended to be removed for showering?
Something makes me remember that :thinking:

I think the Sentero will be moderatly waterproof, maybe in the 30m rating.
I.e.: Handwash is fine, diving is not exactly good idea…

Those are Cyborg Nest product…whoááąą…
