Intraline®COG C18100M-C Dimension 720 18G 100mm is a polydioxanone COG thread for subdermal placement by trained healthcare professionals. Licensed clinics, med spas, and aesthetic practices can order this 18G, 100 mm format for vector-based lift planning, contour support, and treatment-room inventory. The barbed PDO design provides mechanical tissue engagement while the resorbable material supports collagen-focused remodeling protocols over time.
This product is intended for professional aesthetic use, not self-administration. Clinical teams should match the thread profile to the planned tissue plane, insertion approach, patient selection criteria, and the operator’s training in thread placement. Intraline®COG C18100M-C Dimension 720 18G 100mm fits practices that need a robust COG thread for structured lift vectors and predictable tray setup.
Intraline COG 18G 100mm threads are designed for minimally invasive aesthetic protocols where tissue anchoring and directional support are required. The COG configuration uses barbs to engage soft tissue along pre-mapped vectors. After placement, the clinician applies controlled tension to support contour refinement and lift within the planned treatment area.
The PDO backbone is a resorbable polymer used in medical sutures and related devices. In this thread format, the material provides temporary scaffold support as tissue integration and remodeling occur. The product does not contain added biologics or pharmaceuticals; the clinical effect depends on mechanical support, tissue response, technique, and appropriate case selection.
Dimension 720 C18100M-C is most relevant when the operator wants a stronger anchoring profile than fine mono or smoothing threads. It may be used as part of a broader treatment plan that includes different thread types for varied traction, skin quality support, or contour goals. Clinics reviewing the wider Intraline range can use the Intraline brand range to evaluate related profiles.
The C18100M-C code identifies the Dimension 720 profile in an 18G, 100 mm format. This sizing supports structural vector work where the clinician needs firm engagement and controlled positioning. Exact placement methods, entry points, and tensioning decisions should follow the operator’s training, the clinic protocol, and the patient’s anatomy.
| Attribute | Clinic-use detail |
|---|---|
| Product | Intraline®COG C18100M-C Dimension 720 |
| Thread material | Polydioxanone, commonly abbreviated PDO |
| Configuration | COG barbed thread for tissue engagement |
| Size | 18G, 100 mm |
| Use setting | Professional aesthetic procedures performed by trained clinicians |
| Device handling | Sterile, single-use presentation for aseptic setup |
Many clinics prepare thread trays with compatible insertion accessories, sterile field supplies, antiseptic preparation, marking tools, and post-procedure instructions. For accessory planning, browse cannulas and needles alongside the thread order. Device compatibility should be confirmed against the operator’s technique and the specific product configuration chosen for the procedure.
This thread class is commonly selected for aesthetic workflows that prioritize lift vectors, soft-tissue repositioning, and contour definition. Typical planning areas include midface vectors, jawline definition, lateral brow support, cheek lifting strategies, and reinforcement around the marionette region. Treatment mapping should account for facial anatomy, tissue thickness, asymmetry, prior procedures, and realistic endpoint planning.
Intraline PDO cog thread 18G 100mm may be chosen when a single pass requires durable traction and stronger anchoring than a lighter thread format. The barbed structure can reduce the need for repeated manipulation once the desired vector is set. Conservative tensioning is important because excessive force may increase discomfort, dimpling, asymmetry, or thread-related complications.
Thread procedures should be performed only by trained, licensed professionals using aseptic technique. Practices building a complete thread service can browse professional thread supplies for adjacent categories and use educational content such as thread lift risks and challenges to support protocol review and staff training discussions.
Quick tip: Keep thread profiles separated by gauge, length, and intended vector so staff can prepare trays without last-minute substitutions.
For practices offering minimally invasive facial contouring, this thread can support efficient planning because the COG profile provides steady grip after placement. The 18G, 100 mm format gives experienced operators a durable thread choice for zones requiring firmer traction. Predictable labeling and single-use packaging also simplify inventory checks before scheduled treatment blocks.
In daily use, workflow value comes from more than the thread itself. Staff should confirm the correct profile before opening the sterile presentation, document lot and expiry information, and prepare accessory devices according to clinic protocol. A clear setup process helps reduce interruptions once the patient has been marked and the sterile field is established.
The Intraline Dimension 720 cog thread 18G 100mm may also fit combination treatment planning. Some practices stage thread placement with other aesthetic modalities when appropriate, but timing and sequencing should be determined by the medical director or treating clinician. For background on Intraline use in facial contouring protocols, see Intraline applications in anti-aging treatments.
Intraline®COG C18100M-C is composed of polydioxanone configured as a COG thread. PDO is a synthetic, absorbable polymer used in medical devices such as sutures. In thread lifting, the material acts as a temporary scaffold while the barbed design engages tissue mechanically.
Because outcomes depend on anatomy, technique, and procedural planning, the product should not be selected by size alone. The clinician should consider whether the 18G, 100 mm profile suits the planned vector length, tissue resistance, and patient-specific risk factors. When in doubt, the medical director should validate the thread choice before procurement or treatment scheduling.
Current prices and quantity breaks are shown on this page, and licensed clinics can order as a guest or with an account. Price and cost can vary with quantity, contract structure, and the product configuration selected during checkout.
For multi-provider clinics, plan stock around scheduled treatment blocks rather than one procedure at a time. Thread inventory should account for the expected number of vectors, backup profiles, training cases, and expiry rotation. A bulk order for Intraline COG C18100M-C can reduce administrative friction when several operators use the same core thread format.
We support licensed clinics with brand-name medical products sourced through vetted distributors and verified supply channels. Shipments can use temperature-controlled handling when required and tracked US delivery, supporting reliable US logistics for practice inventory.
Thread lifting is a procedure-dependent treatment, and safe outcomes rely on patient selection, sterile technique, anatomical knowledge, and post-care instructions. Clinics should screen for active skin infection, inflammation at the treatment site, unstable medical conditions, uncontrolled bleeding disorders, and other factors that may increase procedural risk. Anticoagulant use, immune status, history of keloid or hypertrophic scarring, and prior facial procedures should be considered before treatment.
Potential procedure-related events can include bruising, swelling, tenderness, infection, asymmetry, dimpling, contour irregularity, thread palpability, extrusion, or nerve and vascular injury. Patients should receive clear aftercare instructions, including avoiding excessive facial movement, direct pressure, aggressive massage, and strenuous activity during the early seating period when directed by the clinician.
Operators should document informed consent, treatment zones, thread type, lot number, expiry date, number of threads used, and any immediate observations. Staff should also have an escalation plan for infection signs, persistent pain, unexpected asymmetry, or suspected thread migration. For a practical discussion of risk points, the clinic team can reference thread lift risks and challenges during protocol review.
Store sterile thread devices according to the product labeling and clinic inventory procedures. Packaging should remain intact until the procedure setup, and any item with compromised sterile presentation should not be used. Staff should rotate stock by expiry date and separate opened, damaged, or questionable items from usable inventory.
Good documentation helps with traceability and internal quality control. Record the product code, lot, expiry, treatment site, operator, and procedure date in the patient chart or clinic system. This is especially important in multi-room practices where several thread profiles may be stocked together.
Before each session, confirm that the selected profile matches the treatment plan. The 18G, 100 mm format should be available in the room before marking begins, along with compatible insertion devices and sterile accessories. Clinics can keep a category-level reference for thread inventory planning when organizing stock across different procedure rooms.
Clinics often combine COG, mono, spiral, and other thread types to address different support requirements. A stronger COG thread may provide anchoring and directional lift, while lighter threads may be used in separate protocols for skin quality or refinement. Selection should be based on the treatment objective, tissue plane, vector length, and the operator’s training.
For an alternate Intraline COG configuration, consider Dimension 360 C19100M-C 19G 100mm. Clinics evaluating different length or gauge combinations may also review Dimension 360 C19100-C and Dimension 360 B2190-C. These related choices can help practices build a thread set that covers multiple vector plans without treating every case with the same profile.
When substituting a thread profile, avoid choosing only by brand or general category. Gauge, length, barb pattern, delivery method, and intended tissue engagement can change the way the thread behaves during placement. Medical directors should validate substitutions before they are added to a live treatment protocol.
