Identichip

What makes idENTICHIP the market leader ?

Manufactured to all relevant ISO standards.

Being at the forefront of the technology and using microchips from a quality manufacturer whose microchips are used worldwide, identichip corresponds to all the relevant standards.

Over 4 million identichips sold in the UK.

idENTICHIP has experience in all aspects of the use of microchips within the veterinary, charity and general animal applications. With this experience identichip can support our customers with any problems they encounter and advise on all aspects of use and applications.

Bio Bond anti migration protection

idENTICHIP is unique in being fitted with the only patented device to guard against migration of the microchip once implanted.

The Bio Bond is a polypropylene collar which is attached to the microchip. The bodies reaction to the implantation of an inert microchip is to “fix” the loose body.  This collar allows the tissue to attach to what was an otherwise glass surface.

Long Double bevelled needles.

idENTICHIP needles are specifically designed to cause the minimum trauma , they do not punch a hole in the skin but the double edge cuts a slit through which the long bevel passes much like a wedge.

This reduces the trauma and promotes quick healing.

Siliconised needles.

Once a needle has penetrated the skin it is desirable for it to pass through easily without “drag”, identichip needles are siliconised to “slip” through the skin. This is particularly noticeable in the tougher cats skin.

Choice of implanters.

The most popular implanter remains the disposable sterile needle which fits into a re usable pistol grip handle. Where a single piece disposable implanter is required identichip[ has a sterile syringe presentation. For disposal the needle can be detached for the sharps bin.

Back Trac.

A microchip is of very little use if the owners details are not available when a lost pet is found. idENTICHIP operates the most comprehensive Back tracking system to ensure the best chance of a lost pet being reunited with its owner.

When an idENTICHIP is sold to an implanter it is immediately registered on Anibase against the details of the implanter.  Implanters are supplied with record sheets to log all owners at the time of implantation.  This ensures that even if an owner does not complete a registration form or it gets “lost in the post” idENTICHIP can identify an owner via the implanter.

Promotional Support.

Despite an increasing customer awareness, Identichips will not sell themselves and comprehensive support is offered in the prootion and marketing of the microchip service to your clients. Point of sale material is available but there is also packages of direct promotional tools such as offer cards which you can personalise and send out linking microchipping with other services e.g vaccination or surgery. Practices could have your own Microchipping event.

idENTICHIP is also a major promoter of National Microchip Month and produces a number of promotional items to support implanters at this time.

At all times the support of Animalcare’s local sales representative is available to you.

The technical bit.

idENTICHIP is a microchip and an electromagnetic coil in a glass capsule the size of a grain of rice. Identichip retains the glass capsule as it is the only substrate which has been proven to withstand body fluid from attacking the inner workings of the implanted microchip

idENTICHIP responds to a low voltage 134 Khz electronic signal from the scanner and transmits its unique code, which is then displayed.
