I love the part with the Cleartape&papertowel nearly choking the arm off <3
If it would be Duckt Tape it was perfect
You could do a Flex Tape comercial
It even works with blood
amal pokes a big hole in the skin

Yeah, thatās ghetto
Do as I say, not as I do
Itās a 28mm long small straight flex design. Used our needle.
After only a couple hours the tape and lint free lab wipes I used for gauze came offā¦ no bleeding. I love needle installs.
I did a modified procedureā¦ bevel up for the first part of the incision, up to the hilt (back of the bevel). Removed and re-inserted bevel down to pocket. Worked great. No point dive issues on initial incision.
Can you further explain? I might pass this on to my installer next week when I get my flex
Btw did you use any lido?
Now that makes sense, The incision looked āwrongā to me
Lol, I kept trying to imagine yelling the original text, but SHAZAM! Is all that would come out,
In various voices and intensityās of course
Glad Iām not nearly as insane as I thought I was
Iāll make a vid.
Yep
Iāll make a vid.
Cool great visual
Associated question
When installing a flex I know ātoolsā are bad for various reasons
But having one x series that lives right against the original incision, Iād like my flex a bit deeper
Is there anything that would be ok to use to slide it a bit deeper? Taper?
Speaking of needle, I meant to ask: when itās inserted all the way with the ring mark at the entry point, it creates a pocket just long enough for the length of a wedge flex. Right? But it seems to me the needle creates an arrow-shaped incision around the tip, while the flexās extremity is circular.
Therefore, is the distance between the tip and the ring mark in fact slightly longer than the implant to account for the not-quite-round end of the pocket? Or maybe flesh is floppy enough that it doesnāt really matter all that much? Or is it a good idea to shove the needle in a couple mils past the mark just in case?
Iām kinda torn now (no pun lol) on which direction I want the flex needle to go in
I like the cleaner wound of bevel down
But bevel up doesnāt make me imagine the tip going way to deep and tearing my tendons and ligaments and all kinds of terrible hypochondria stuff
AFAIK itās the other way around. A bit before the mark should be more than fine with a bit of extra space.
Just squish it back using pressure from outsideā¦ I went waaaay deep with the needle and pushed it all the way to the back using just a rubbing motion from overtop the skinā¦ just like trying to push it back from outsideā¦ like pushing a ball around under a blanketā¦
No itās way longer at the mark than the longest wedge flex. If you get to the laser mark youāre good. See;
40mm from the back of the bevel to the mark
Ah right okay. So the entire bevel area is considered ādead spaceā then.
Awesome video!, looks like bevel down would barely leave a mark when healed.
I would definitely recommend inserting it pointy end first
