Ultratine breakage.
Ophthal Plast Reconstr Surg 26(1):63-4 (2010) PMID 20090497
Both Endotines and Ultratines are made of polymers of polylactic acid and polyglycolic acid and are used in brow elevation procedures. Ultratines appear to be much more likely to break during loading and insertion than Endotines. The authors report our experience with these devices and offer suggestions to decrease the likelihood of breakage.
