The waste material you see below is all that was left of a magnet that had been in place for quite a while that was removed as part of testing — James Wisniewski, who removed the implant, writes,
“These are the remains of a single magnet implanted in a finger tip. The magnet has broken down, but left the surrounding tissue intact. This magnet was in for over eight months and there were no visible signs indicating any problem with the magnet. The removal was to check on the condition of these experimental magnets along with the interior pocket of tissue which it sat in.”
I’ll say again: the functional effects of the magnetic implants are absolutely wonderful, but their current stability and safety level is far from making them acceptable for general use in my opinion.

I did quite a bit of research when designing my magnet and I can not give away details though.

is there any one acctually dedicating them selves to finding a new coating because i would really really love to have one of these but i am taking much head to shannons warning

Injected coated magnets VS dipped coated magnet.
I’ve got an “injected coated magnet” almost 9 months.
and doing well.

“…On the medium-size dipped coated magnets there has been a failure of two out of eight, a 25 percent failure rate so far. Four of the long and skinny size dipped coated magnets have been placed and that I am aware of none of them have failed as yet. Of the injected coated magnets about 20 have been placed some as old as two years with a 100 percent success rate so far. I do agree with Shannon that if you have a dipped coated magnet removal would probably the best. That being said I have two medium dipped coated magnets for over a year old which have not failed. I plan to keep these to see how long they last before failure. …”

Ugh! I have had to dig some nasty splinters out before without even getting disgusted, but just imagining removing those bits of magnets from my fingers.. ugh!
But: When this is finally proven to be stable I will SO try it out. 🙂

this magnet was only plated in gold. a thick plating but no silicone as they knew people had already had problems with silicone in the past.

I’m still quite confident that a glass capsule would work. I have many of those in my body (including the palms of my hands, finger webs and sides of my fingers), most of them containing pieces of silver or iron. Mine are intended to make a clicking sound on shaking, so the pieces are realtively small and can roll freely inside the capsule. They are stable for about 10 years now (see experience, pictures and forum on my page). I’ve made some for Warowaro, who hase implanted them in his scrotum (see pictures on his page).
I agree the glass will have to be rather thick or the magnets rather small, and the magnets would have to remain separte from the capsule (avoiding stresses by diffrences in heat expansion). Also it is likely that the magnets would have to be re-magnetized after melting the capsules shut. But at least they would be very stable.

I think glass would work as well.

As soon as somebody makes a more stable version of this available to public, I’m lining up to get some.

When looking at options for my magnetic implant I decided that coating it in something would eventually fail.

After watching that fascinating talk on body ‘hacking’, I was left with the impression that this particular mod means the wearer will never be able to have an MRI. Is that the case? Isn’t that a pretty big down-side given we can’t all have perfect health all our lives? What happened when you had the problems with your leg Shannon?
An MRI found an incredibly small cancer in my kidney that was missed by ultra-sounds and x-rays so I’m a little paranoid about not having access to that technology.

Given a metal coating I would feel ok risking an MRI after removal.
