- A 13mm x 20mm 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
- Periodontal Defects:
- Encloses isolated vertical bone defects and complex pocket reconstructions surrounding single teeth
- Contour Augmentations:
- Provides a firm ceiling over localized lateral ridge defects where the bone has caved in
- Single-Root Sockets:
- Preserves narrow extraction sockets that require high structural support to prevent tissue sagging
- Fenestration Defect Shields:
- Covers exposed window-like bone openings or exposed implant threads
Features
- Titanium-Mesh Skeleton:
- Features a medical-grade titanium frame enclosed between two layers of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) material
- Perio-Optimized Geometry:
- Measures 13mm x 20mm to accommodate narrow periodontal and localized bone environments without excessive cutting
- Double-Sided Texturing:
- Textured on both its upper and lower faces to increase friction and grab holding tissues smoothly
- Zero Premature Degradation:
- Crafted entirely out of inert, non-resorbable materials that remain intact indefinitely until manually retrieved
- Ultra-Fine Micropores:
- Engineered with specialized sub-micron porosity to allow life-giving nutrient fluid flow while halting bacteria
Benefits
- Unbeatable Space Maintenance:
- The internal titanium grid allows surgeons to bend, shape, and "tent" the membrane. It will not collapse under pressure from the moving gums, lips, or tongue
- Rigid Graft Containment:
- Locks loose particulate bone grafting materials securely in place, minimizing micro-movement that could otherwise ruin new bone cell growth
- Excellent Tissue Grip:
- Double-sided texturing helps the gum tissue stick firmly to the membrane, reducing the risk of early tissue separation or shifting
- Permeable Healing Environment:
- Blocks tissue cells and oral bacteria from infiltrating the bone graft while letting healing fluids freely diffuse through
- Predictable Single-Piece Retrieval:
- After the bone has successfully consolidated (typically 4–6 months), the entire integrated membrane lifts out cleanly in one simple piece without breaking or crumbling
