VNS bracelet alternatives
Wed, 04/27/2016 - 07:44Topic: Surgery and Devices
I'm looking for a bracelet for the existing magnet for my VNS implant. The super sexy one they provide is... well... not so sexy. Has anyone found anything a little less "invasive" for lack of a better word, or some sports team logos, or patterns or something a little better than a narrow thick black band? Also, it looks like the front of the magnet is maybe designed to have some kind of label or sticker? Can I get a fake watch face sticker or something? Haha. Only half serious about that.
