- A specialized resorbable collagen membrane specifically designed for socket ridge preservation, featuring a unique "cap" design that allows it to curve upon hydration, making it easier to place over extraction site
Uses
- Single Tooth Socket Grafting:
- Ideal for protecting bone grafts in extraction sockets
- Socket Ridge Preservation:
- Specifically engineered to meet the needs of ridge-holding procedures
- Small Bone Defects:
- Used to cover and stabilize grafts in minor boney voids
- Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR):
- Acts as a barrier to prevent epithelial cells from invading the healing graft
Features
- Curvature:
- Naturally curves when hydrated, which facilitates easier adjustment and placement over the socket
- Extended Resorption:
- Provides a stable barrier for 9 to 12 months
- Material:
- Engineered from highly purified porcine dermis tissue
- Dimensions:
- Measures 12mm x 16mm, perfect for single-site applications
- Thickness:
- Features a slightly thicker dermis tissue for improved structural integrity compared to standard tapes
Benefits
- Non-Collapsible:
- Maintains the grafted area without collapsing into the surgical site
- High Strength:
- Exceptional mechanical strength allows it to be repositioned or sutured without tearing
- Nutrient Permeability:
- Allows vital macromolecules and nutrients to pass through while blocking unwanted cells
- Fast Hydration:
- Ready for surgical use after only a few seconds of hydration
- Improved Healing
- Clinicians report faster-looking tissue tone and color post-operatively compared to other membranes
