MINT™ FIX

MINT™ FIX (PDO Lifting Threads)

The Ultimate Anchor for Long-Lasting Tissue Suspension.

Maximise the longevity and stability of your thread lifts with MINT™ FIX. While other threads are designed for general lifting along a vector, the "FIX" model is a specialised PDO (Polydioxanone) thread engineered to act as a permanent-style anchor using absorbable material. It is the premier choice for practitioners who require maximum fixation and security for heavy lifting in the mid-face and jawline.

What Is It?

MINT™ FIX is a high-tensile, bi-directional PDO thread featuring MINT’s patented 360-degree helical moulded barbs. What distinguishes the "FIX" is its unique configuration and length, specifically designed for fixation. Unlike standard threads that may rely solely on tissue friction, MINT™ FIX is designed to be anchored firmly into the dense connective tissue, ensuring the lift remains stable even in highly mobile areas of the face.

How It Works

• Superior Fixation: The "FIX" utilizes a specific barb distribution that allows it to anchor deeply into the fascia, providing a secure "hook" that prevents tissue from sliding back down.
• Moulded Barb Technology: Because the barbs are moulded as part of the thread’s core, they possess the structural integrity to hold significant weight without the barbs flattening or "peeling" over time.
• Bi-Directional Tension: The barbs point toward each other from both ends, creating a central point of tension that "fixes" the skin in a lifted, more youthful position.
• Collagen Synthesis: As the thread is slowly metabolised by the body, it is replaced by a robust column of collagen, providing a long-term biological lift.

Who Is It For?

MINT™ FIX is the essential tool for practitioners targeting:

• Severe Skin Laxity: For patients who require a more dramatic lift than traditional threads can offer.
• Heavy Mid-Face Lifting: Securing the malar fat pads to restore cheek volume and height.
• Jowl Suspension: Providing a firm anchor point to sharpen and define the jawline.
• Combined Protocols: Often used as the "anchor" thread in a multi-thread procedure to ensure the entire lift remains secure.

✨ Key Technical Specifications

• Material: Polydioxanone (PDO), a safe, biodegradable medical polymer.
• Barb Design: Patented 3D Helical Moulded Barbs for 360-degree anchoring.
• Tensile Strength: One of the highest in the MINT™ range, engineered to support heavy tissue loads.
• Cannula: Typically delivered via a high-quality W-type blunt cannula to ensure safe placement and minimal bruising.
