The objective of 1stSurgiConcept® is to supply aesthetic doctors, surgeons and their patients with safe and innovative products that meet the safety and efficacy requirements specific to implantable medical devices.

Spring Thread® is made up of materials that guarantee all the necessary safety for this type of implant.

We never compromise on quality at 1st SurgiConcept®. Our quality policy applies to all the departments in our company. This quality reflex goes hand in hand with a desire move forward: Innovation and the Quality System are two key areas in our goal to best serve our clients and their patients.
(1)The SOMEREFs: Society of Medical Research and Expertise on the Suture of Suspension
(2)Spring Thread Effectiveness and Safety study
In 2005, Doctor Jean Frismand, doctor of medicine and biomechanical engineer, began researching the tensor threads used in medicine and cosmetic surgery. He interrogated doctors and aesthetic surgeons, as well as patients, to find out about their needs and expectations.
The aim was to substitute cosmetic surgery, in certain cases, with a simpler and less invasive treatment (thread lift) allowing for tissue to be repositioned and thus combat natural sagging in the face and some other parts of the body.
The doctors wanted a long, strong, reliable thread that was easy to use. To accommodate the moving parts of the face and obtain a natural result, they stressed the fact that the thread should be flexible and have elasticity.
For their part, the patients insisted on the efficacy and long-term effects of the result. They wanted “an effective solution lasting for a long time, without having to go back and pay for new treatment every six months”.
With this information, Doctor Frismand applied his 25 years of experience in surgical implants to develop a tensor thread that met the requirements of both patients and doctors. He created a company called 1st SurgiConcept® and the Spring Thread® brand in 2007. The product obtained its first CE marking in 2008, which has been constantly renewed since then.
In 2013, Dominique Malard, who was already managing a biotech company, purchased 1st SurgiConcept® and expanded the company.
Thanks to its unique characteristics of flexibility, strength and elasticity, as well as its recognised effectiveness, the product soon became a great success internationally and the company rapidly increased its export business.
