- A sterile, 15mm x 20mm resorbable barrier membrane derived from highly purified porcine pericardium designed to provide extended barrier protection and structural support for major oral and maxillofacial bone grafting procedures
Uses
- Single-Rooted Socket Preservation:
- Sealing localized extraction sockets (e.g., incisors, canines, or premolars) to maintain ridge dimensions
- Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) around Single Implants:
- Shielding particulate bone grafts from epithelial down-growth during localized dental implant placements
- Dehiscence and Fenestration Repair:
- Covering exposed implant threads or root surfaces spanning across a single tooth root
- Periapical Defects:
- Aiding bone remodeling following localized root resections, cystectomies, or apicoectomies
- Minor Periodontal Bone Loss:
- Tenting narrow, localized infrabony pockets to allow undisturbed osteogenesis
Features
- Natural Pericardium Architecture:
- Retains the inherent multi-directional, fibrous honeycomb structure of natural pericardium, which provides exceptional mechanical strength and tear resistance compared to standard collagen sheets
- Non-Cross-Linked Type I & III Collagen:
- Consists primarily of highly biocompatible Type I and Type III collagen microfibrils which is processed without artificial chemical cross-linking agents, optimizing tissue integration and minimizing local flap irritation
- Extended ~24-Week Resorption Profile:
- Substantially resists premature enzyme breakdown. It functions as a stable physical barrier for up to 6 months before being naturally degraded by endogenous collagenases into carbon dioxide and water
- Non-Directional Placement:
- The membrane is non-directional; clinicians can place either side facing the bone defect or the soft tissue flap without affecting clinical outcomes
Benefits
- Outstanding Handling Adaptability:
- Can be customized and adapted in either a wet or dry state. Immersing it in sterile saline or the patient's blood for ~5 minutes creates a highly drapable matrix that adheres cleanly to the site without sticking to surgical instruments
- Secure Fixation Stability:
- The inherent toughness of the pericardium fibers allows the membrane to easily accept surgical bone tacks or tight suturing without tearing or fraying
- Accelerated Angiogenesis:
- The natural porous microfibril matrix serves as an optimized pathway for trans-membrane vascularization. This speeds up early nutrient delivery while effectively excluding soft tissue cells
- Optimal Space Maintenance:
- Easily folds and conforms around tight defect shapes, providing the stability necessary to prevent underlying bone graft migration or flap collapse
