1. MAKE
THE INCISION
Make the coronal or limited incision in your usual fashion.
Perform the dissection and elevate the brow.
|
 |
2. DETERMINE
THE Drill HOLE SITE
Plan the drill hole sites such that the ENDOTINE Forehead devices
will sit anterior to the incisional closure and under hair bearing
scalp. Generally, two devices in the paramedian region, anterior
to the cranial coronal suture and medial to the temporal fusion
line, will suffice. |
 |
3. MAKE THE HOLE
Use the Manual Surgical Drill bit to create a hole at the
drill hole site. 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. |
 |
7. SECURE THE
TISSUE
Apply digital pressure to ensure penetration of the tissue by
the device tines. Close the incision. Excise scalp as necessary
for a tension free closure. A gentle pressure dressing is recommended
to prevent dislodgement. |
