This product is designed to be an affordable, convenient, and easy-to-use testing kit that relies on a harmless skin reaction to detect metal allergies. Sensiband uses a wristband to hold a medically pure piece of implant metal against a patient's skin for a week. If the person develops a skin reaction (contact dermatitis) they will know that they are likely allergic to that element and can let their surgeon know so that an alternative implant material can be used. Doctors have implant options and can use ceramicized or titanium alloys instead of cobalt-chrome-molybdenum or stainless-steel alloys.
