After a hot minute, we are once again offering our injectable sensing magnet: the xG3 v1. Same size with better impact resistance. This is the first regular product we’re offering with our USP Class VI, ISO 10993 tested resin process. See also, the Memora Implant for our first custom solution using this process.
While all subdermal magnets can be used for sensing, the v1’s axially magnetization offers a consistent pole orientation where the v2’s diametric magnetization would lead to rotation of the implant in place.
Ok, so for my first install this is what I went with. Could not have gone smoother!
But, I might have accidentally nicked the coating when taking the needle out. I pushed down on the magnet a little to keep it from sticking to the needle on the way out, and I heard a scraping noise. I think it was the needle tip against the end of the magnet. Should I worry about it, how durable is the coating?
I mean, well it’s in there now…
Guess time will tell…
Thanks!
Yes, I did read that. I know that is pretty damn durable but I couldn’t remember reading anything about how it holds up to like sharp stuff.
In not too worried, it just crossed my mind.
