Implanting next week
HI everyone, I've finally gotten enough information to attempt implanting a magnet.
I ordered 6 parylene coated magnets from supermagnetman 1 mm x 3 mm, and will be coating the implant with dental resin.
I'll be using a number 11 scalpel, a tournicate, proper sanitation and sterilization.
I thought a topical cream with lidocaine would be enough, but after testing I realize i was wrong. Is ice an ok method for numbing?
also I'm not sure how to know if I cut deep enough.
I'm implanting on the side of my right hand ring fingertip. Hopefully all goes well.
Thank you in advance for any help.

Hi [redacted],
Amal ;)
I just ordered your pain management kit. The description says the ampule is 5mL xylocaine (2%), but the picture shows two ampules; one of water and and one of the lidocaine. Is the lidocaine in powder form, and then could be hypothetically mixed with the water to yield the 5mL 2%? Or am I misunderstanding?
Thanks!
