Silicone plate
Silicone discs are a common method of treating wild flesh (hypergranulation) in piercings. They help to compress and heal the gamey flesh by gently protecting the area and promoting healing.
Here's a simple guide on how to use silicone discs for wild meat:
Preparation
- Wash your hands thoroughly to minimize the risk of infection.
- Clean the piercing and the area around the venison carefully with warm water. Then gently dry the area.
Using silicone discs
- Choose a silicone disc in the right size to cover the area of the game meat. These discs are available in different sizes, so choose one that completely encloses the game meat.
- Position the silicone disc directly on the game meat. It should completely cover the area and press lightly on the piercing.
- The disc is placed on the rod for a labret, for example, and then the ball is screwed on. Make sure that the rod is short enough for the disc to fit snugly on the game meat.
Carrying the disc
- Leave the silicone disc on the venison for several days or weeks, depending on how well it is tolerated and how quickly the venison deteriorates.
- Make sure that the disc is changed regularly, especially if it has become dirty or damp.
After the application
- Clean the piercing regularly and take care not to cause any additional irritation or infection.
- If the gamey flesh does not recede or worsens after a few weeks, consult a piercer or doctor to make sure there are no other health problems.
Important notes
- Avoid applying too much pressure to the game meat. The disc should gently compress the area and not bruise it.
- Treatment with silicone discs can take some time. It is important to continue the application regularly and to be patient.
- If you notice any signs of infection (e.g. redness, pus formation or pain), you should consult a professional piercer or doctor immediately.
Silicone discs are a gentle method of treating game meat and offer an effective way of supporting the healing process.
