Bioproof Silicone Coating
Hi. I am planning to implant a RFID password key into my forearm and am
looking for a way to bioproof it. It’s about the size of a small USB
flash drive and encased in hard plastic. I would like to coat the
entire thing with silicone, but I don’t know which type of silicone to
get. Is food grade silicone good enough or do I need to get implant
grade? Where can I buy this on the Internet? Also, what type of
sterile precautions do I need to observe while applying the coating and
prior to implanting? I appreciate any suggestions you all might have.

you can get medical grade silicone from there. if you ask nicely you probably get precise instructions on how to use and cure it aswell.
using PTFE shrinking tubes may also be an option (maybe with a ptfe plug on each end). probably cheaper and easier to handle.
Anyways, had anyone tried it? If so, how far does 2lb go? I'd hate to waste any at that price!
guess it is not the first choice when it comes to prototyping stuff due to said price issue.
