Title: Titanium mesh and magnets
Post by: clere on October 13, 2017, 09:04:47 am

Hello,
It's been a long time since I posted on here.  I had an AN removed in 2014 and have been doing relatively well.  Titanium mesh was used during the procedure. Since that time I have started using an CPAP machine for sleep apnea.  Recently I started using head gear that has magnetic fasteners and am wondering if they could somehow interact with the titanium and cause problems??  Anyone have any info?  Thanks.

The magnets of your head gear will not interact with the titanium. Titanium is not ferromagnetic, so no problems.
