| The ENDOTINE Midface ST Suspension Procedure*
|
 |
 |
THE PROCEDURE:
1. INITIAL INCISIONS:
The midface subperiosteal dissection is performed using the
surgeon’s typical temporal approach, which may include additional
incisions (buccal or periorbital). Dissection should continue
to the inferior maxilla, to assure that the fixation platform
is positioned over the maxillary antrum after elevation.
|
|
2. PLACEMENT
Insert the Midface device through the temporal incision to the
desired position.
PLACEMENT OPTIONS
Alternatively, the implant may be removed from the insertion
tools and inserted in a retrograde fashion through an oral incision.
3. DEPLOYMENT
With the fixation platform at the inferior recess of the dissection,
retract the plastic cover by squeezing the release mechanism.
|
| 
|
4. FIXATION
Once the platform is in position and deployed, apply digital
pressure over the cheek to engage the tines in soft tissue. |
 |
5. REMOVE INSERTION TOOLS
Remove the insertion tools while maintaining digital pressure
on the fixation platform. |
 |
6. ELEVATION
Elevate the midfacial tissues to the desired position by applying
tension to the anchoring leash exiting the temporal incision.
Anchor leash to the temporal fascia with suture and trim leash
to lay flat in the incision. |
