What Is I-thread?

i-THREAD is revolutionary new type of threads using in skin lifting procedure. Threads are made of Polydioxanone (PDO) that helps to improve collagenization. Once the micro thread is inserted under the skin, the body detects a suture material and stimulates collagen production starting healing process. In additional, it activates fibroblasts, which provide more elastin. The procedure improves texture of the skin and corrects wrinkles. PDO threads were used for suturing during the heart surgery over 30 years and it is proofed to be safe. PDO thread lift is an innovative creation by a Korean surgeon. It is an excellent alternative to lifting surgery but with more advantages such as reduced cost, no scarring, less invasive and less side effects, also faster postoperative recovery

Thread Codes

i-THREAD is an aseptic monofilament synthetic absorption suture consisting of polyester, poly (p-dioxanone). Polydioxanone sutures are supported for longer periods comparing to other synthetic absorbent sutures. Polydioxanone suture also provides a much better tensile strength. When injected into the body, it absorbs slowly for 90 to 120 days. In this process, the body absorbs and produces collagen to improve the elasticity of the injection site. The effect of i-Thread typically lasts about two years. It is also a pain-free procedure that requires no anesthesia (local anesthesia may be used if the patient is less resistant to pain). A thorough evaluation of the product attached to the hand fusion can result in sutures often being exaggerated without incremental increases. .
