Multipoint Fixation
Highly Adjustable Bioabsorbable Implants for Predictable Long-lasting Results1,2
Endotine is a bioabsorbable implant that elevates facial procedures with its unique multipoint fixation. Small tines allow for optimal control and precision in tissue repositioning, resulting in more natural-looking results.
With 6x the load capacity of 3-0 PDS sutures, Endotine provides results that last for years after a single surgical session.1,3,4,5,6
Sutures | A Single Point of Fixation
Sutures utilize a single point of fixation to secure adjusted tissue. This limits fixation strength and can lead to skin irregularities, dimpling, excessive soft tissue pull or “cheese-wiring.”
Endotine | Multiple Points of Fixation
Endotine’s multipoint fixation distributes “tissue forces evenly, minimizing the chance of surgical failure and possible injury caused by sutures.”7
Highly Adjustable
- Easily adjustable during surgery for greater control7
- Can be applied in less than 2 minutes, reducing procedure time4
Predictable Long-lasting Results
- 6x the load capacity of 3-0 PDS sutures3
- Reduced risk of necrosis, alopecia, scar widening, and re-descent and eliminates cheese-wire effect and dimpling7
