Metal Allergy Test Band, Test At Home or Anywhere - Tests for 7 Common Metals Used in Medical Implants - Order 3 Weeks Before Surgery

Worked great for me but as a nurse I kinda did my own thing. The band was difficult to keep on but was not uncomfortable. A piece of tape around the metal button kept the band together and off my skin. The other thing I did because I could not spend 7 weeks performing the test and did not want to wear two bands at once. I used a clear tattoo bandage (opsite) to place a test disc on my abdomen. This was where I did have a significant reaction to cobalt within 3 days, which took weeks to heal. Better out of site than on my arm. Was able too do three test at once by placing them at least 5-6 inches apart.

This is a simple enough product, but the wrist band won’t stay on and it makes it very difficult to use. It's come off repeatedly throughout the day as I completed perfectly normal tasks like filling the dishwasher. It even came off while I slept. I am looking for replacement bands so I can still do the tests, but im really disappointed in the quality. Update: I clicked back on the original product and saw that they had a different band for sale, which makes me think that they've gotten enough complaints about their bands to know they don't work well. It's annoying to think that instead of swapping the bands or even selling the new bands and kit together for a few extra bucks, they'd rather sell the band separately. It doesn't make for a very good experience. I went ahead and bought the replacement bands anyway, but while they are secure, they are very uncomfortable. They are stiff and scratchy and almost feel like they're made of some kind of plastic. Altogether, I just feel like it's a shame that the company won't invest in decent bands. Theoretically, their customers are wearing these bracelets for four to seven weeks and I wish they'd put more thought and effort into making the bands more comfortable.

The SensiBand Metal Allergy Test was exactly what I needed. It was super easy to use, and I loved that I could test for multiple metals without needing a doctor’s appointment. The band was comfortable to wear, and within a few days I had a clear answer about my sensitivities. What I appreciated most is the peace of mind it gave me before moving forward with my procedure. Instead of guessing, I actually knew how my skin reacted to each metal. The instructions were clear, the materials felt high-quality, and the whole process felt safe and simple. If you’re considering implants, jewelry, or you just suspect a metal allergy, this is absolutely worth it. I’m really glad I tried it first — it gave me confidence and saved me a lot of stress!!

Where do I begin— (1) the product took weeks to arrive — AFTER my surgery; (2) the band has a nickel clasp, so good luck figuring out if your allergic to the clasp or the little disc. I’m allergic to nickel, so literally everything made me break out — not helpful. (3) many of the discs arrived very damaged; either scratched or rusted. (4) the band doesn’t stay closed and pops off easily. I had to toss the band and put the disc piece on a regular watch band. For the price of this, which has an absurdly high markup. I will be returning this and making me own for a fraction of the price.

Did what I needed it to do. Wore multiple at a time to reduce duration. Velcro straps are very uncomfortable almost sharp so they are not worth it.

I am preparing for spine fusion surgery and my surgeon suggested this test because we wanted to make sure I'm not allergic to titanium. This was super easy to use and I didn't even notice having it on for 7 days. It's a much better and an easier alternative than trying to get an appointment with an allergist. Highly recommend for anyone getting ready for surgery that wants to make sure they aren't allergic to what is about to be put into their body.

The bands keep coming off. i had to purchase wrist bands for the product to stay on for 7 days. definitely not worth buying.

recommended by my surgeon prior to hip replacement. a little difficult to fasten and they come off in bed.
