Implant #4 β€” Great Success!

Mar 27, 2023

This weekend I implanted an xSIID, an implant that is essentially a copy of my first xNT implanted chip, except that this one lights up when you scan it. I am now not just a cyborg, but a disco cyborg 😎

Implant was very smooth; you can see in the mid-implant photo all the topography I charted to keep track of vasculature and tendon boundaries. The sweet spot was VERY tight; I had about +/2mm tolerance on where I needed it to land, but preliminary healing looks like I nailed the placement spot on.

Sadly no video this time, but these are getting routine at this point πŸ˜‰

Three days healed. Skin looks funky due to freshly-taken-off tegaderm and the Coban I’ve been keeping it wrapped in to prevent migration and remind me that it’s there/protect against bumps.
