- The Walletmor implant is a passive NFC transponder consisting of a silicon chip on which payment data is stored, and an antenna. These components are placed in a hermetically sealed encapsulation made of the highest quality biocompatible materials.

- No. Walletmor implants use NFC (Near Field Communication) technology, which means they do not have their own energy source. The NFC reader device (like a payment terminal) creates a small magnetic field that the NFC implant inducts power from and communicates with when it is brought close enough to do so.

- No. Walletmor does not emit any radio waves or radiation. The contactless payment terminal creates a small magnetic field and the Walletmor implant communicates over this magnetic field by modulating only this small field during a payment transaction.. Its only function is to store a small amount of payment data that is communicated to an authorized payment terminal during a transaction.

No. Walletmor implants are encapsulated in the highest quality biocompatible materials from the United States which are USP Class VI certified, with a long history of use in permanent medical implant devices. The implant is shipped in a sealed pouch filled with chlorhexidine gluconate – a standard antiseptic solution used in hospitals for surgical procedures. The implant is considered “clinically clean” when opened and removed from the pouch at the time of installation.

Walletmor implant is minimally invasive. It does not require anesthesia, however we recommend the professional performing the injection to use topical anesthetic ointment, or if legally allowed to do so, local anesthesia to minimize pain. A special piercing needle is used to create an incision and space under the skin for the implant to rest. After the procedure, the professional performing the installation may optionally place one or two sutures (stitches)to close the wound, or a butterfly bandage would also be acceptable. A larger bandage is then placed over the incision site. The whole procedure takes about 15 minutes.

- The implant procedure may be performed by a doctor or professional body modifier. We recommend that the person performing the procedure, regardless of the profession, get acquainted with the professional installation guide prepared by us.

We recommend that Walletmor implant be implanted just on the outside of the hand after the small finger metacarpal bone, or in the forearm slightly above the wrist. Remember to not choose a location where you normally wear a watch or jewelry.

It is important to not push around or press on or otherwise play with your Walletmor implant for at least two weeks after installation. This gives the healing process a chance to encapsulate the implant with collagen so it stays in place under your skin. If allowed to heal properly, Walletmor implants will not migrate under the skin.

A properly installed and well healed Walletmor implant can withstand forces over 500 newtons. It is resistant to all kinds of impacts that can occur to us during everyday activities, sports, martial arts training, etc.

In order to remove the implant from the body, it is necessary to perform a simple removal procedure. A small incision is made and the implant is removed through this incision. Sutures are used to close the wound and a bandage is applied. It is simple and safe.

The organization of the implant procedure is on the user's side, however, we recommend that the implant procedure be performed by one of our trusted specialists which you can find here. If due to their convenient location, you do not have the opportunity to make an appointment for the procedure in one of these places, we can recommend to you to visit a professional body modifier or surgeon. We strongly advise using a piercing salon for the purpose of implantation.
