PDO Threads or Aptos

Makers of these threads say that by combining PCL and PDO threads in one, patients are getting the best of both worlds. They are supposedly getting longer-lasting results (up to three years) with some extra versatility to be used in different types of procedures. However, they are quite expensive. Compared to PDO threads, they can be double or even triple the price. In addition, they haven’t been around a while, which means they haven’t been properly tested — at least not nearly as much as PDO threads have.
