| + | ====== Cyborg Body Mod Guidelines ====== | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | ===== The Space ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | All mods should take place in as sterile an environment as possible. The room should be cleaned with an industrial-grade detergent and then disinfectant. Care should be taken to sterilize any surface that is used for the mod, before before and after. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== The Tools ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | All tools should be sterile. Either as a sealed, single use item or a properly sterilized item. Sterlization would include cleaning with an industrial-grade detergent and/or run through an ultrasonic cleaner, drying and autoclaving in sterilization pouches with color-changing indicator strips. For proper sterilization use a Class B or medical-grade steam sterilizer which uses high pressure and temperatures over 250°F (121°C) to kill all bacteria, viruses, and spores. | ||

| + | |||
| + | ===== The Modder ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Anyone performing a body mod should ensure their space and tools are ready. They should not be under the influence of any recreational substances. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The modder should explain the procedure in clear language and obtain verbal consent that the person getting the mod understands: | ||
| + | |||
| + | * what the mod does | ||
| + | * what are the risks of having the mod | ||
| + | * what technique will be used and if it is a new technique | ||
| + | * what aftercare is required | ||
| + | * what to look for if the mod is being rejected | ||
| + | |||
| + | If it strongly encouraged to provide written aftercare instructions. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The modder should ask the person getting the procedure | ||
| + | |||
| + | * if they have any medical conditions that would a problem | ||
| + | * if they have had any reactions to piercings or body mods in the past | ||
| + | * if they are under the influence -- and refuse to continue if there are | ||
| + | * to explain what mod they are getting and what aftercare they will be doing | ||
| + | * if they have any concerns about the mod | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | ===== The Procedure ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | The body modder should lay down a sterilize field (a blue sterile drape most commonly). The body modder should have all required and expected safety gear on and sterilized tools ready. | ||
| + | |||
| + | After the procedure, all used items should appropriately be disposed of or cleaned and sterilized. The working surfaced must be steralized. | ||
