MINT Product Family (Including MINT Lift, and MINT-I Sutures) are comprised of PDO and are indicated for use in soft tissue approximation where use of a barbed absorbable suture is appropriate. These sutures are also indicated for use in face suspension surgery to temporarily fixate the cheek sub dermis in an elevated position.

MINT Product Family Sutures are synthetic, absorbable, sterile, surgical sutures comprised of polydioxanone. These sutures are available in a range of lengths and thicknesses and have bi-directional barbs which hold the suture in position and exert tension throughout the length of the suture. These sutures are provided sterile. They degrade and reabsorb over time.

MINT™ is indicated for use in mid-face suspension surgery to temporarily fixate the cheek subcutaneous fat layer and SMAS layer in an elevated position for the treatment of moderate to severe nasolabial folds.

The MINT™ device is a sterile synthetic absorbable surgical suture comprised of polydioxanone, (GHoOJ)n. Polydioxanone has been found to be nonantigenic and to elicit only a slight tissue reaction during absorption. The pigment of the violet dye is D&C Violet No.2 (21CFR §74.3602). MINT™ is available in a range of gauge sizes and lengths. Each suture has bi-directional barbs along the long axis of the suture monofilament. The MINT™ Synthetic Absorbable PDO suture approximates tissues, without the need to tie surgical knots, by using the opposing barbs on the suture surface to embed in the tissues after the surgeon precisely places the suture within the tissues. Barbed suture lifting is a minimally invasive surgical technique for facial rejuvenation. The MINT™ Product Family includes models which are supplied with needles. For those models supplied with a needle, designated as "Lifting Thread Combined with needle" in the MINT™ Product Family instructions for use, the needle is used to make the insertion point and for threading of the suture in the patient's dermis.

SurFuse™ Gel, SurFuse™ Putty, ExFuse™ Gel, ExFuse™ Putty products are indicated for bony voids or gaps that are not intrinsic to the stability of the bone structure. They are intended to be gently packed into bony voids or gaps of the skeletal system as a bone void filler in the extremities and pelvis. These defects may be surgically created osseous defects or osseous defects created from traumatic injury to the bone. These products resorb and are replaced with bone during the healing process.

The submitted devices are resorbable bone void filler, combining Human Demineralized Bone Matrix (DBM) with cancellous bone powder and carboxymethylcellulose (CMC). The primary component of SurFuse™ and ExFuse™ is demineralized particle bone which is derived from human donor cortical bone. The additional bone powder in the ExFuse™ is derived from human donor cancellous bone. The CMC is added to enhance the cohesiveness of the composition. The submitted devices are provided in several volumes ranging from 0.3cc to 10 cc. The devices are supplied sterile for single patient use.
