Hi and thanks for using this forum. I am so sorry to hear about what you have been experiencing. I understand how expensive this treatment option is. Hope you find the funds to keep receiving it.From the information you have provided, I think you will need this pack to be removed and disinfected before re-implanting. This is because with germs in the battery pack cannot be killed by antibiotics because there is no blood supply that will take Chat Doctor.  No matter how many antibiotics or how long you keep on taking these
