Multi-point tension distribution device, a brow and face lift variation, and a method of tissue approximation using the device |
摘要 |
A tissue approximation device and processes for using the device are provided. The device is an implantable, biodegradable construct (except for hernia repairs) that has attachment points emanating from a supportive backing. The device improves the mechanical phase of wound healing and evenly distributes tension over the contact area between the device and tissue. Processes for using the device include wound closure, vascular anastomoses, soft tissue attachment and soft tissue to bone attachment. Several variations are particularly applicable to facilitating tissue approximation in surgical cosmetic applications, particularly brow lifts. Generally, scalp tissue to be lifted may be set on a brow lift device via attachment points, and the device may then be secured to a patient's cranium. Variations of the device are described along with a method of installing the brow lift device. Also described is a tool particularly useful for installing a brow lift device.
