- A resorbable allograft derived from the human placental membrane, specifically designed for wound protection and soft tissue healing in the oral cavity
Uses
- Socket Preservation:
- Placed over a bone graft to act as a biological seal and promote gum tissue closure
- Gingival Recession:
- Used as a scaffold to thicken thin gum tissue or cover exposed roots
- Implant Site Protection:
- Covers surgical sites to protect the underlying graft from bacterial contamination
- Direct Pulp Capping:
- Utilized in endodontics to protect exposed dental pulp and encourage repair
- Mucositis Treatment:
- Acts as a soothing barrier over painful oral ulcers or inflamed mucosal tissue
Features
- Dual-Layer Design:
- Features both the amnion and chorion layers for increased thickness and slower resorption compared to single-layer patches
- 10mm x 10mm Size:
- A small "stamp" size perfect for single-tooth sites or localized soft tissue patches
- Rich in Growth Factors:
- Naturally contains essential proteins and cytokines that trigger rapid cell migration and tissue regeneration
- Anti-Microbial Properties:
- Amniotic tissue has innate properties that help reduce the risk of infection at the surgical site
- Dehydrated Storage:
- No refrigeration required; it can be stored at room temperature with a long shelf life
Benefits
- Accelerated Healing:
- Patients typically experience faster "pinking up" of the gums and quicker wound closure
- Pain Reduction:
- The patch acts as a "biological bandage," protecting nerve endings and reducing post-operative discomfort
- Reduced Scarring:
- Promotes high-quality tissue repair with minimal scarring or adhesion
- Non-Immunogenic:
- Because it is immune-privileged tissue, the risk of a foreign body reaction or rejection is extremely low
- Self-Adhering:
- Once hydrated by the wound's natural moisture, it sticks to the tissue without always requiring suture
