Gold Eyelid Weight Implants

All gold weight implants are not created equal. Introducing the newest generations in gold eyelid weight technology. SutureGroove™ and SutureGroove Slim™.

IOP has licensed a patented technology that partners gold eyelid weight implant technology with recessed suture channels to perfect implant fixation and improve lid cosmesis.

Features and Benefits

  • Innovation and Design The depth of the SutureGroove™ channel approximates the diameter of a regular 6.0 suture (400 microns). Extending from the suture hole to the edge of the implant, this smooth channel embeds the suture, achieving a stable, virtually immovable position.
  • Expanded Surgical Options SutureGroove Slim™ are 40% narrower than the traditional design, providing a more-contoured, less conspicuous appearance within the eyelid.
  • Enhanced Cosmesis and Patient Satisfaction By eliminating the elevated suture lines, you also provide your patient with a smooth, acceptable eyelid appearance post-operatively.
  • Manufactured Precision All SutureGroove™ gold implants are forged from pure gold, ensuring a precise, smooth, residual-free gold weight for every surgery.
