Magnet Removal ( Non-DT )

[Atilla]

Random post of the day:
Palm magnet removal in the UK, preferably Greater London.
Any suggestions?

Edit of OP after successful removal:

Do not try this! Exposing the body to non biostable material is dangerous.
Now read it again!

My case is a very lucky one!
The implant got removed in one piece. Let this example confirm the necessity of the proper coating of the implants!
Silicon, glass and titanium encapsulation that I might recommend. Thin sputtered layers NOT!

100% our friendly neighborhood @greydoc would be my first port of call

[greydoc]

@Atilla DM me, I can take care of that for you.

[Atilla]

That is brilliant! I got a reference letter today from GP if needed for X-ray.

And it’s out, little guy had a pretty tough capsule around him…

Luckily it came out in one piece.

I thought this deserved it’s own thread

Thanks for sharing

@greydoc you’re a legend

[Atilla]

Now things at the right place!
Thank you @Pilgrimsmaster !

I’ll type a short case study and recommendation soon.

There is a feeling of “silence” straight after removal. @greydoc you are a hero!

@Pilgrimsmaster @Atilla it was an interesting and complicated removal, the capsule was so solid that my initial incision over the implant site actually migrated it. I had palpated and used a field analyser to find it so I knew I was right over it. In the end I had to use a magnet to isolate it and draw it back into the field and dissect it out.

It’s interesting to see the corrosion erupting from the fracture lines typical of parylene coatings on magnets.

indeed
A tingling started after 2 years of the installation. That feeling got more frequent, especially after consuming acidic drinks. The tissue slowly thickened around the magnet. The whole process was slow and smooth through out the time.

There is a feeling of silence now.

an almost insidious progression… one might convince themselves to completely ignore it until the thing just burst open.

typical of parylene coatings on magnets.

If only somebody made medical grade Bio-safe SCHOTT glass magnet implants, that come pre-loaded in a syringe, and you could choose the magnetic axis

xG3 V1
xG3 V2

or
a Titanium coated magnet

Just dropping these links here, for somebody that stumbles upon this thread, and are searching for a safer and proven option than parlyene coated magnets.

And why not link to this thread for some eye candy

I know how that feels… And I’m glad that it came out in one piece.

Is this because of the irritation from the compromised magnet or something along those lines, or just the natural healing process of any implant?

I have the impression that removing a glassy tends to be an easy process but I could be wrong.

X-series tag removal

A properly installed x-series tag rests in the fascia, which is the connective tissue between the dermis and muscle. Removal is a fairly simple process that any general practice doctor should be able to perform in their office. There are two ways to go about removing a tag. Cutting it out with a scalpel, and removing it with a large gauge needle. First we will cover scalpel based removal since this is the procedure that most medical doctors will be comfortable with. #Scalpel removal The one k…

I’d imagine since it started 2 years after installation that the sensation was caused by chemical breakdown of the magnet and that was causing tissue irritation and probably some amount of necrosis.
