- A dual-layer resorbable allograft. It is specifically shaped for narrow, elongated defects in the oral cavity, providing a biological barrier that speeds up soft tissue healing
Uses
- Multi-Site Socket Seal:
- Covering two adjacent small extraction sites (like lower incisors) with a single patch
- Narrow Ridge Augmentation:
- Protecting bone grafts in thin areas of the jaw
- Gingival Recession:
- Used in "tunneling" or "pinhole" techniques to thicken gum tissue across several teeth
- Surgical Incision Protection:
- Acting as a biological bandage over long linear suture lines to prevent dehiscence (opening of the wound)
Features
- 10mm x 20mm Dimensions:
- A specialized rectangular footprint (200mm²) for targeted coverage without excessive trimming
- Dual-Layer (Amnion/Chorion):
- Offers double the thickness of standard amnion, providing a more robust barrier and a higher concentration of cytokines
- Bioactive Scaffold:
- Contains natural laminin and fibronectin that facilitate the "crawling" of new skin cells across the wound
- Naturally Antimicrobial:
- Contains defensins and cystatin that help inhibit local bacterial growth
- Dehydrated Storage:
- No refrigeration required; it can be stored at room temperature with a long shelf life
Benefits
- Optimized Shaping:
- The 1:2 length-to-width ratio is perfect for the dental arch, reducing waste compared to square 20x20mm patches
- Rapid Soft Tissue Closure:
- Encourages the patient's own gums to migrate over the patch quickly, often within days
- Superior Adhesion:
- It is "self-setting"—once it contacts blood or saline at the site, it adheres to the surface like a magnet
- Minimal Inflammation:
- Because it is immune-privileged human tissue, it avoids the "redness" and swelling sometimes seen with bovine or porcine products
