- A 15mm x 20mm absorbable collagen membrane, it's a "standard" resorption membrane derived from purified bovine tendon, designed to provide a short-term barrier during the early stages of bone and tissue healing
Uses
- Socket Preservation:
- Placed over a bone graft in an extraction site to prevent soft tissue migration
- Minor Ridge Augmentation:
- Protecting small bony defects during localized reconstruction
- Guided Tissue Regeneration (GTR):
- Treating periodontal defects around a single tooth
- Root Coverage:
- Used in soft tissue grafting to assist in covering minor recession
Features
- 15mm x 20mm Size:
- The most popular dimensions for standard molar or premolar sites
- Bovine Tendon Source:
- Derived from Type I collagen for high biocompatibility and low immunogenicity
- 4-8 Week Resorption:
- A "short-term" barrier that is absorbed naturally, typically within two months
- Dual-Sided Handling:
- Can be applied with either side facing the bone or soft tissue
- Absorbable:
- No secondary surgery is required for removal
Benefits
- Exceptional Handling:
- It becomes very pliable when wet and adheres well to the surgical site without sticking to gloves or instruments
- Wound Stabilization:
- Helps stabilize the blood clot and protects the bone graft from displacement
- Safe Integration:
- Being a highly purified collagen, it integrates seamlessly into the surrounding tissue
