1. MAKE THE INCISION
Make a sagittal, paramedian incision in the usual fashion. Perform
the dissection, making sure to achieve adequate release.
|
 |
2. DETERMINE
THE Drill HOLE SITE
Lift the brow to the desired position. Plan the cranial hole
such that the implant will ultimately lie under the hair bearing
scalp. |
 |
3. MAKE THE HOLE
Use the Manual Surgical Drill bit to create a hole at the
drill hole site. The hole should be located medial to the temporal
fusion line and anterior to the coronal suture. Drill all the
way to the drill bit sleeve. Suction the bone hole to remove
all debris. |

|
4. GRASP THE
DEVICE
Use the ENDOTINE Forehead Insertion Tool to grasp the implant
and remove it from its packaging. One needle-like tip of the
tool fits into the hole in the ENDOTINE Forehead platform and
the other end grasps the implant post. |
 |
5. PLACE THE
DEVICE
Insert the ENDOTINE Forehead implant into the drilled hole.
Push until the platform is flush with the cranium. Release the
Insertion Tool from the implant. |
 |
6. ELEVATE THE
TISSUE
Elevate brow tissue to desired position. The implant may lie
either anterior or lateral to the incision. |
 |
7. SECURE THE
TISSUE
Apply digital pressure to ensure penetration of the tissue by
the device tines. Close the incision. A gentle pressure dressing
is recommended to prevent dislodgement. |
