Why a Metal Implant Card Can Save Time at Security Checks

Surgical metal implants are more common than most people think. Whether it's from a hip replacement, dental work, or a heart procedure, these implants often set off metal detectors. That’s where our Metal Implant Card comes in. It explains the situation without drama, questions, or delay.

What Counts as a Metal Implant? Here’s a Simple Breakdown

A metal implant is a medical device made from strong metals like titanium, stainless steel, or cobalt-chromium. They’re used in loads of medical procedures—some visible, some not. Some of the most common types include:

• Joint replacements like hips and knees

• Screws and plates to hold bones in place

• Dental implants that sit in the jaw

• Pacemakers and stents used in the heart

• Clips used in brain surgery

These implants are safe and effective—but they can still cause confusion at a security gate.

Why Metal Implants Set Off Alarms at Airports and Events

Security detectors are built to pick up on anything metal. They use electromagnetic waves to scan people and objects. When you walk through with a metal implant, that implant interferes with the scanner’s signals. This triggers an alert, which often leads to a bag check, a wand scan, or more questions than necessary.

Places Where You Might Be Stopped by a Detector

If you’ve got a metal implant, these are the kinds of places where you might be asked to explain yourself:

• Airports – both at home and abroad

• Courthouses and police stations

• Music venues and stadiums

• Some office buildings with private security

• Tourist attractions and museums

The alert is routine—but having to explain it every time can be a hassle.

Our Metal Implant Card is clear and easy to show. It says that you have a surgical metal implant, and that this may set off metal detection equipment. You don’t need to go into detail. You don’t need to carry medical paperwork. It does the job without fuss.
