Hmmm

Terrible speculation time

I doubt you would self install a flex, and it looks like you did it in your shop

The entrance looks too small also?

So it’s possibly x series?
Sensor? No, vivokey wouldn’t have a use for sensor data

What about the mind control?

My guess is that it’s the slim style flex, the needle looks quite large for an x-series, to my eye

Yeah, that’s ghetto :slight_smile:

Do as I say, not as I do :wink:

It’s 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 off… no bleeding. I love needle installs.

I did a modified procedure… 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 “wrong” to me

Cool great visual

Associated question

When installing a flex I know “tools” are bad for various reasons

But having one x series that lives right against the original incision, I’d 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 it’s 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 flex’s 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 doesn’t 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?

I’m 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 doesn’t make me imagine the tip going way to deep and tearing my tendons and ligaments and all kinds of terrible hypochondria stuff
