The antišŸš«-derailmentšŸšƒ & threadšŸ§µ hijackingšŸ”« threadšŸ§µ ā‰

:thinking:
I have no idea what youā€™re talking aboutā€¦
:stuck_out_tongue:

Yeah, that was my concernā€¦ but putting some little blue blinkies on the outer rim would look sooo nice! Or at least one on that spike in the middle?

Also, does this come sterilized or just sanitized? And will my future Titan magnet have any effect on it? Not sure if I can keep the 5cm distance thatā€™s recommendedā€¦

Oh, yes!!

We should offer two variants:

  • Classic (no blinkies)
  • Custom Blinkie Rim Job

Sounds appropriate enough?

Waitā€¦ where exactly are you implanting that Titan, again?? :rofl:

ps: @Atilla, you created a monster!
pps: @Pilgrimsmaster, you did soooooo well for moving this here!

Oh yes, this sound fittingā€¦ guess my artist might happily install that. Maybe. Or not. :smile:

On my finger, I hope - but since this implant up there looks pretty big, it might end up close enough to every part of my body, Iā€™m afraidā€¦

I take credit for both, I originally posted it here.
Adding to the thread: It DOES have blinkiesā€¦

Only the secret onesā€¦ Any that you can prove, well thats a different story.
Like Cartmans probe, clearly true

Ah, I see @Atilla has posted similarly above, i thought I should move mine out of respect.

I wanted to avoid the low hanging fruitā€¦ Mr Garrison regarding the US presidency.

Iā€™m glad to see the process of implantation =)

Just a spitball idea, sure Iā€™m not the first to ask it

What would happen if you coated something transdermal with a bio bond agent?

Would that help prevent the normal infections that people reference since the body could seal better to it?

Probably you would either end up with a pinch-like feeling when you move, depending on the region, and no much more.

Or, more likely, most biobond materials tend to become flaky and break down a bit if they meet trauma. or age. Not something I would want on meā€¦

Also the better seal you can get is when your inner sticky bits get in touch with more of your inner sticky bits. So anything in between will most likely be worst than nothing in between.

But could help for the very few who can experience 30cm migrationā€¦

Long story short: NO
You want the piercing to be as smooth as possible.
You want the tissue to heal around it not into it.
Also the hole cleans itself when it heals, you want those juices to come out, hence the importance of smoothness.

Edit: Speaking from experience. I tried it as a teenā€¦ I know, right! :crazy_face:

Not the best way to get pus squirting if ya know what I meanā€¦ :cat2: :sweat_drops:

Weird

You would think you want it to seal, to let you skin function as a proper barrier, keeping stuff out

I assume itā€™s not as simple, but donā€™t bodily juices belong in the body? , waste fluids already have existing systems for removal

Wouldnā€™t the funky juice you want to drain, not be generated if there was no means for microbes to get by into your skin?

Oh, it seals up, but the bio-material is generally porous, and the rigid surface irritates the cells. If the object is smooth as butter the healing is much quicker.

Yes, the body gets rid of whatever juices it doesnā€™t need. However if you insert a foreign object in it that is the least considered normal.
Imagine a splinter. The body wants to encapsulate and eject that, rather then digest it.

If you are interested in piercings I warmly recommend to look up JCā€™s channel on youtube.
He was doing videos for years about this topic. He covered pretty much whatever could be covered regarding to piercings. google:pangeapiercing
P.S.: If you see him pass my very-best wishes!!

Not really, just looking at it as a tool for future implant interactionif we can make them actually last and not reject or infect

Imagine a SD card in Amalā€™s goop, with a female usb C as a transdermal

Interesting topic. :+1: :+1:
AFAIR there was a snippet about this: if itā€™s easier to sterilise a polished surface, or how rigid does a surface need to be to prevent :microbe: growth.

When I was a kid we had iodine-tincture ampules in 1st aid kits.
The alcohol evaporates quickly and as the iodine crystallises it makes the surface hostile for microbes to live on. Same theory goes with photofunctionalization.

:man_facepalming:
We should have started defining bio-bond and bio-safe first.
Luckily this is the off-topic.
However, it would be interesting to start a topic about it.

Back to the practical aspect:
An USB port poking out from the skin: Yes, that would likely to be coated with material that binds with tissue. BUT not the stem that goes trhough the skin, only the anchoring bit.

I suppose we should start at the beginning,

I made the assumption that transdermals eventually fail because of microbial stuff getting past the skin

If this is the case, we need to seal better

If this isnā€™t the case Iā€™m in the wrong road

I was just thinking that the skin actually attaching to the object thatā€™s perforating it, would for a better seal that simple constriction and allow the skin to function like normal

I was thinking about similar things before I started looking into it deeply.
You donā€™t need to seal it off once itā€™s healed.

Then why does stuff reject or fail?

Now, Iā€™m no expert, but there are a couple of points:
-Transdernals present excellent surfaces for skin dwelling bacteria to bond to (for example S. epidermidis looooves infecting inplants/catheters because it is excellent at forming biofilms which are really difficult to kill

  • it doesnt so much bond with the body as it ā€œsitsā€ in a ā€œskin pocketā€ with a bigger inside where the anchor sits and smaller opening - the way the transdermal is attached is through holes in the anchor where the skin can regrow back together, it isnt actually bonded directly - now, these are small, and as you can imagine, quite easy to rip. It would probably need just a tug or snagging on clothing or something to create an ooen wound. And the opening where the transdermal ā€˜headā€™ pokes out is an excellent ingress point for all sorts of nasties that could infect that wound. And as the infection is partially hidden hidden in the pocket, any antimicrobial agents (antibiotic creams etc) have a hard time getting to the wound and biofilms are also very resistant to them

Im sorry if i am confusing ts 4 am
@Coma has more experience with transdermals so she could probably tell you more
