[su_spoiler title="How/where are x-series chips installed? Aftercare? What to expect?" class="my-custom-spoiler" style="fancy" icon="arrow"]

Our x-series transponders are typically installed into the webbing between the metacarpal bones of the index finger and thumb, resting parallel to the index metacarpal. They should be at least 5mm away from any bone or other implants to avoid possible impacts. The reason chip implants are usually installed in the hand has to do with the extremely short read range of most small chip implants. In the case of access control where the chip must be presented dirctly to a fixed reader of some kind, the hand is easily able to be properly positoned in front of the reader.

Achieving a safe installation definitely requires skill and experience performing aseptic procedures. Dangerous Things prefers our customers locate one of our professional body piercing or body modification partners to complete the installation of our products. If no partners are available in your area, you should be able to follow this guide to finding a professional in your area. For aftercare information and what to expect, please read our X-Series FAQ page. [/su_spoiler]
