This is a unique multi-directional thread pre-loaded into a 18G W-Type cannula. It is 15cm long and has multi-directional barbs molded across 9.5cm of the thread.
Because the direction of barbs alternates, it securely anchors onto soft tissue in all directions. It is often used as a supplementary thread to bi-directional thread to “super glue” or “velcro” them into place.
What is MINT™
MINT™ is a lifting thread (facial tissue fixation thread) made of dissolvable material polydioxanone (PDO) with 360-degree, 3D helical barbs to pull and fixate skin tissue for wrinkle improvement. It is a PDO (Polydioxanone) to deliver safe and outstanding results. Developed using patented moulding pressed technology, the helically positioned 360˚, 3D barbs have high tensile and anchoring strength to provide superior results.
How safe is it
MINT™ threads are made from a complex sugar polydioxanone or PDO - a safe suture material that has been used in orthopedic and cardiovascular surgeries for over 30 years. Not only that, MINT™ is also backed by more than 7 years of published studies for its safety and is the first and only PDO suture in the market to have received dual FDA clearances.
What is PDO(Polydioxanone)
PDO(Polydioxanone) is a biodegradable polymer that has been used as a surgical suture. It naturally dissolves and absorbs in the human body and promotes skin elasticity by stimulating collagen synthesis. PDO is a safe raw material that is non-antigenic and fully dissolved within 6 months of the procedure.
