Robert Whitfield MD reports DNA testing of capsule specimens beginning February 2019. He cites a published paper with over 600 consecutive samples finding bacteria on the scar capsule in 29% of cases, with his experience ranging up to about 35% (roughly one-third).

Questions this video answers

February 2019.

Over 600 consecutive samples.

29%.

Approximately 29% up to as high as 35% (roughly one-third).

DNA testing of each capsule specimen. And we've done that since February of 2019. Our paper was published with over 600 consecutive samples setting the incidence or how often we find bacteria on the capsule, your scar capsule, not the implant capsule at 29%. So if you look at my study experience over time, it probably varied between that number 29 and as high as 35. So roughly, if you want to set like a third.
