Surgical metal implanted in the leg. Will there be any problems when passing the frames at the airport?
Do I need to have any documents? Especially interested in how it is in Paris!

Metal implants rarely ring in anyone, but even if they ring, it is enough to explain in words.

You can tell the guard that you have metal inside your body (an endoprosthesis or a plate), but in accordance with the instructions, the guard will still conduct an inspection until he is sure that there really are no prohibited items and the frame reacted only to the metal implant, and not to pistol.
In general, the security guards know how these implants look on the x-ray and you will pass the security zone without any problems.

Thank you very much for your reply!)

They took an X-ray with them, but they didn't need it. The needle in the collarbone did not ring. There shouldn't be any problems.

"In general, the security guards know how these implants look on the X-ray and you will pass the security zone without any problems." What am I reading right now?
Are passengers X-rayed at the airport?

Take your doctor's note with you. In Paris, one of our group had a pacemaker, carried some paper with him: he couldn’t pass through the frames at all, but he did. Paris has the highest level of danger.

The answer was in fact, but for those who find fault with the words, I will sign clearly.
Human body scanners are based on two different principles. The first of them is similar to an X-ray machine, but the rays do not pass through, but are reflected, that is, the effect of X-ray backscattering is used. Materials of different density are displayed in different colors. Less dense - skin, muscles - light, and more dense metal - dark. The full name of this scanner is Backscatter X-ray. They are still used by many airports around the world.
The second one you're thinking of is a full-sized scanner that uses millimeter waves in its work, emitted by two antennas rotating around a person. Waves reflected from the body and other objects on the body are used to produce a three-dimensional image that is displayed on the monitor.
But the meaning is the same. Those who work on these devices know what implants look like. I hope the issue is closed.

A pacemaker is a mechanism, not just a piece of iron, and hand-held metal detectors may be contraindicated for it. Of course, here you are hung up with certificates so as not to be at risk. And the metal needle in the leg has no such contraindications.

No. The X-ray scanner has been withdrawn from most airports.
The second one, which you write about, has nothing to do with X-ray and is used ONLY to detect objects near the surface of the human body, i.e. something that is in pockets or hidden between clothes and the body. He does not see "inside" the body and, accordingly, internal implants are not displayed on it.

I have a prosthetic heart valve. Sometimes it rings, sometimes it doesn't. I always carry a certificate in English with me. I usually show help and do not go through the frame. I'm going through a manual check. Once upon a time in a small Vietnamese airport there was no woman to carry out a manual search and I was let through like that. The opinions of doctors are divided on whether it is possible or not to undergo a frame with an artificial heart valve, rather it is reinsurance.
I know for sure that it is absolutely impossible to use a stimulant, it is very dangerous for the stimulator, and if it fails, a person may die. You can't take that risk.
On my last trip I went through the frame. And in Moscow and China, these frames are like dogs) In every more or less crowded place. Once at the airport it rang. But I did not even have time to get a certificate as they let me through.

Do I need to take a certificate in English from a doctor or can I translate the existing certificate myself?
аватар Apyatka
I have an artificial heart valve. Previously, I took a certificate from a doctor and did not pass the frame anywhere. But then they explained to me that the valve does not ring (titanium) and there is no danger to the heart during passage. And I began to fly without help.
So - the bastard rings) Not every time, but it's still annoying. On my last trip to Boryspil, I went through an X-ray room, then they groped me, then they forced me to take off my shoes. I said that I had a valve, showed a rue to the neck, but they treated me rudely.
Now I will only fly with a certificate.

milakanuka54, I was given in English right away. If you translate yourself, then you need to somehow certify.
