My xG3 Installation & Progress

I got my xG3 in the second beta wave this past August and installed in on August 17th. The install went pretty smoothly and I did have an experienced piercer do it, but he had never done an implant like this before. Video of install is here (sorry for portrait mode) Pain was about what I expected: worse than my xEM but really not too terrible. It felt like it took forever, although it was under 3 minutes. My hand ached for a couple hours afterwards (especially if I put my arm down below my sho…

Xg3 Finger Install and Healing report

Hey. Today i installed the Xg3 in my Finger <3 (My First Implant!!) Here is a short vid. The Camera Placement was not good, and my operation sheets to put under it didn’t arrived so i just went with an sterile compress under my hand. My first plan was to use Sterile Gloves, but i felt like i can handle it better without, so i desinfected my hand well. For anaesthetic purpose i used Lidocain 0,5% Injectable liquid. I injected 2 ml at two spots at the base of the finger. i still could feel…

Where did you install your Xg3 and what do you do with it?

Hey all I have another Xg3 around and thinking about the Placements so i was wondering where others have it installed and what are the pros and cons about that place, and if you use it, what do you do with it?

Home install of xg3 vs professional

So I Just recently ordered an XG3 Axial I plan to have installed in my left hand middle finger. My original plan was to have a friend install it for me but I’ve seen how hesitant everyone is on here about finger implants specifically. I self installed my xSIID back in May, So i was pretty confident I would be able to walk a friend through the install of the XG3 into my finger. I’ve asked around and none of the piercers I asked would be comfortable with the install. Is it less of an issue for h…

xG3, xSIID, getting tased, and another xG3 an interesting two weeks

I have made a few posts in various topics recently on my implant experiences. I have had a few different experiences in a short amount of time, and I wanted to make a concise post on them. This forum has been a huge font of knowledge and a source of inspiration for me. I want to start out by thanking everyone here for their contributions. Please note, I am not a medical professional, nor am I a piercing professional. This is not advice. This is just my experience. March 2021 I had been i…

Opinions on best placement for the xG3 for a surgical professional?

Hey guys! I’m new here but already have a xEM installed for my work badge. I had a question I’ve looked for everywhere but (as I imagined) couldn’t find the answer to anywhere. I’m interested in having an xG3 implanted and have a partnered installer already aware of that, but I just can’t decide on a placement where I’d get the most use out of it. I work around the clock in orthopedic trauma surgery, almost all day, almost every day. In my specialty at work I handle a LOT of lightweight implan…

First xg3 - in finger?

I think someone else did this and it wasn’t the best, I think we were all watching and worrying it was already rejecting Finger is probably iffy enough without self install

xG3 v1 VS v2 finger sensing

So I know the xG3 are not meant for sensing but I’ve considered having one put in my finger and I can’t really decide which. For those of you that have had one installed into a finger which version do you have and how is the sensing? I’m probably going to go with a v2 just because the lifting power is so much higher but if I hear enough about the v1 being better for sensing (which I assume is the case) I may put a v1 in a different finger.
