- An elongated, dual-layer resorbable allograft. It is designed specifically for long, narrow surgical sites where a standard square patch would be insufficient or wasteful
Uses
- Full Quadrant Incision Coverage:
- Protecting long suture lines after extensive flap surgery or ridge augmentation
- Multiple Socket Preservation:
- Sealing 2–3 adjacent extraction sites simultaneously (e.g., lower anterior teeth)
- Extended Gingival Recession:
- Providing a bioactive scaffold for multi-tooth root coverage in "tunnel" or "vinyer" techniques
- Vestibuloplasty:
- Acting as a biological dressing over the surgical site to promote rapid mucosal healing and reduce patient pain
Features
- 10mm x 25mm Dimensions:
- A specialized "strip" footprint (250mm²) that follows the natural curvature of the dental arch
- Dual-Layer Matrix:
- Combines amnion and chorion layers, making it thicker and more durable than single-layer amnion products
- Rich Growth Factor Profile:
- Contains essential cytokines (like TGF-β and PDGF) that stimulate cellular proliferation and collagen synthesis
- Acellular & Safe:
- Processed to remove all cells while preserving the native extracellular matrix and bioactive proteins.
- Dehydrated Storage:
- No refrigeration required; it can be stored at room temperature with a long shelf life
Benefits
- Reduced "Bulk":
- The narrow 10mm width prevents excess material from bunching up in the vestibule while providing ample length for long defects
- Biological Bandage Effect:
- Dramatically reduces post-operative pain by covering exposed sensory nerves in the soft tissue
- Rapid Re-Epithelialization:
- Significantly speeds up the "closing" of the wound, often reducing healing time by several days
- Self-Fixating:
- Highly hydrophilic; it adheres tightly to the moist wound bed upon contact, often requiring few or no sutures for stability
