TIGHTENING THREADS AND SUTURES

Finalists

1} Aptos Threads: Visage, Light Lift, Nano, Sole, Body; Aptos LLC. Aptos threads are a non-invasive method for face and body lifting, contouring and rejuvenation.

As a result, better facial contour is visible immediately after the procedure. Aptos threads are available both in permanent (polypropylene) and resorbable (polylactic acid/caprolactone) versions. Both materials are safe and have been widely used in surgery for more than 50 years. The results after thread-lift last for 1.5–5 years, depending on thread composition.

Tools and devices

Finalists

1} 3DOSE Unit Dose Injector, TSK Laboratory. The disposable BTX injector — 3Dose

Unit Dose Injector — with a patented clicker system allows for utmost accurate dosing.

The disposable syringe allows for more accurate, consistent and easier injections for all the FDA approved botulinum toxins in different dilutions. Dialing down the plunger to the wanted dose per click enables for various dose settings and different volumes (up to the smallest volume possible: 0.0125ml).

With the LifeViz® Infinity, you begin by taking a ‘life-like’ 3D image of the patient, then simulate and identify the right implant directly in the BreastShaper software. Rather than having different hardware for face and body, simulation and/or skin analysis, the LifeViz® Infinity offers a comprehensive solution in an all-in-one system. This new addition to the LifeViz® range will bring portability to face and now breast and body 3D acquisition.
