Why The New Ultratine TM Surgeons have asked us for a more rapidly absorbing Endotine Forehead. One that holds the forehead soft tissue with as much security and placement control as the current Endotine, but provides more comfort to their patients during the post surgical phase. We are pleased to introduce Ultratine to answer this need. The Ultratine Forehead consists of a similar, but uniquely different polylactic acid and polyglycolic acid polymer blend that bio-absorbs in a more desirable way. The structure of the material quickly flattens under the skin as periosteal attachment is complete, greatly enhancing the patient’s post operative experience. Ultratine versus Endotine ® Absorption Profile Biologic Fixation % Strength 100 Periosteal Attachment 80 Endotine 82:18 60 Ultratine 40 20 Time (weeks) 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 Ultratine Key Performance Traits: • Ultratine loses 90% of its strength in 60 days, while Endotine loses only 37% of its strength in 60 days • Ultratine’s rapid strength degradation after periosteal attachment is complete means the patient has less palpability and sensitivity after 60 days
Ultratine TM Performance Ultratine Performance and Satisfaction Exceeds Expectations When we identified the right material for Ultratine, we tested it for clinical performance, and surgeon and patient satisfaction with the overall experience with the device. The objective was to achieve seamless product performance and high levels of patient satisfaction. The results of a 22 patient study are summarized below. Ultratine demonstrates a high degree of surgeon satisfaction and patient comfort MEASURE 30 DAYS 90 DAYS Maintaining Elevation ➔ Very Satisfied/Satisfied 95.4 95.4 Palpability ➔ Palpable/Slightly Palpable 77.3 95.4 Use Ultratine Instead of Endotine ➔ Yes 95.5 90.9 Patient Satisfaction ➔ Very Satisfied/Satisfied 86.4 91.0 *Data on file at Coapt Systems What Our Customers are Saying “For properly selected patients, Ultratine has proven to be as effective as Endotine in maintaining elevation of the brow. The device is perceived by patients to be more comfortable than Endotine.” DR. R. LAURENCE BERKOWITZ Santa Clara, California “Ultratine provides the stability needed for periosteal reattachment to its newly elevated position. The rapid absorption of Ultratine means better patient comfort post-operatively with less sensitivity and palpability.” DR. JEFFREY JOSEPH Lafayette, Louisiana
