- A 12mm x 24mm non-resorbable structural barrier embedded with a highly malleable titanium skeleton designed to ensure reliable space maintenance during Guided Tissue Regeneration (GTR) and Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) procedures
Uses
- Anterior Extraction Sockets:
- Fits snugly over narrow single-tooth extraction sites (such as central incisors, lateral incisors, or canines) where the labial bone plate is damaged or missing
- Localized Ridge Defects:
- Bridges vertical or horizontal bone deficits along narrow segments of the alveolar ridge
- Dehiscence and Fenestration Repair:
- Caps exposed implant threads or localized bone "windows" without spilling over onto adjacent healthy structures
Features
- Malleable Titanium Frame:
- Encloses a medical-grade titanium mesh panel sandwiched between two layers of ePTFE thin-film matrix
- Anterior Narrow Form Factor:
- Formatted to 12mm x 24mm, minimizing chairside trimming and waste when treating narrow, single-tooth voids
- Double-Sided "Strawberry Field" Texture:
- Features macro-textured dimples on both faces to maximize friction against the bone graft underneath and the flap tissue above
- Calibrated Micro-Porosity:
- Designed with passive sub-micron pore structures that allow fluid movement but physically isolate cells and pathogens
- Custom Shape Retention:
- The internal metal frame yields excellent physical memory, allowing it to be bent or domed to create a rigid, custom-shaped cavity
Benefits
- Rigid "Tent-Peg" Space Creation:
- Will not sag or collapse under the constant tension of overlying facial muscles, lips, or tight suturing, guaranteeing a protected chamber for slow-forming bone cells
- Excellent Wound and Graft Stability:
- The dual-sided texturing stops the membrane from sliding around during fixation and locks loose particulate bone grafts securely in place to prevent healing micro-movements
- Shield Against Infection:
- The microporous ePTFE barrier blocks oral bacteria from penetrating into the healing graft site while promoting the passage of interstitial fluid
- Total Control Over Healing Time:
- Because it is completely non-resorbable, clinicians have total authority over how long the matrix protects the site, maximizing dense bone maturation
- Clean Surgical Retrieval:
- The material does not dissolve or fragment over time. After the bone has successfully consolidated, the integrated sheet can be unroofed and lifted out cleanly in one piece
