- A long-term resorbable collagen membrane used in guided bone and tissue regeneration to provide a prolonged barrier against soft tissue infiltration
Uses
- Bone Grafting:
- Acts as a protective barrier over bone graft materials
- Socket Preservation:
- Prevents epithelial migration into extraction sockets
- Ridge Augmentation:
- Supports the rebuilding of alveolar bone height and width
- Periodontal Defects:
- Aids in the regeneration of tissue around the tooth root
- Implant Site Prep:
- Ensures stable healing for future dental implant placement
Features
- Material:
- Derived from highly purified porcine (pig) peritoneum
- Dimensions:
- Measures 15mm x 20mm
- Resorption Time:
- Sustained barrier function for 6 to 9 months
- Drapability:
- Becomes extremely pliable once hydrated, contouring to the surgical site
- Multidirectional Strength:
- High mechanical strength allows for suturing or tacking
Benefits
- Slow Degradation:
- Provides protection longer than standard collagen, ideal for larger grafts
- Tissue Integration:
- Promotes early vascularization and healthy tissue attachment
- Ease of Handling:
- Can be placed on either side and trimmed easily to fit the defect
- Minimal Inflammation:
- Highly purified porcine collagen is very well tolerated by the body
- No Second Surgery:
- Naturally resorbs, eliminating the need for a removal procedure
