The Silhouette Instalift device consists of two 304 Stainless Steel Surgical needles and an absorbable implant. The absorbable implant consists of a single monofilament that holds two sets of 8 cones. Both the monofilament and the cones are made from 82:18 L-lactide/ Glycolide bioresorbable (PURAC LG 8218) resin material.
A sterile filament made of a bioabsorbable material [e.g., poly-L-lactide (PLLA), poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA)] with projections (e.g., barbs or cones) along its length intended to be surgically implanted typically during a cosmetic surgical procedure for alternative lifting (e.g., face, neck, breast). The device is inserted through dermis and tacked to deep fascia where the projections produce tension for elevation of the subdermis. It is available in a variety of lengths and may be supplied with dedicated disposable implantation tools (e.g., needle, cannula).
