ABSTRACT:
A method for preventing closure of a body piercing opening during medical procedures that necessitate removal of a metallic body jewelry. The method includes the stage of sterilizing a piece of non-metallic body jewelry; disengaging the piece of metallic body jewelry from an existing body piercing opening; and inserting the piece of non-metallic body jewelry into the existing body piercing opening to prevent its closure. Upon termination of the medical procedure, the piece of non-metallic body jewelry is removed from the opening and disposed of, and the piece of metallic body jewelry is reinserted into the existing body piercing opening. The disposable non-metallic body piercing jewelry is fabricated from a thermally and medically insert plastic, and emulates the structure and shape of permanent metallic body jewelry that is usually worn in piercing openings.
