- A mid-range resorbable collagen membrane designed for standard dental regenerative procedures, while providing a reliable barrier for 4 to 6 months
Uses
- Socket Preservation:
- Prevents soft tissue from invading the extraction socket while the bone graft matures
- Minor GBR:
- Used in Guided Bone Regeneration for small defects around dental implants
- Periodontal Defects:
- Aids in the repair of minor bone loss around natural teeth
- Ridge Augmentation:
- Provides a stable covering for small-scale horizontal bone rebuilding
Features
- Material Source:
- Engineered from highly purified Type I collagen (porcine tendon origin)
- Dimensions:
- Measures 15mm x 20mm with a thickness of 0.25mm to 0.45mm
- Medium Resorption:
- Naturally absorbed by the body within 4 to 6 months
- Mechanical Integrity:
- High strength allows it to be trimmed and positioned without shredding
- Permeability:
- Designed to allow nutrient and macromolecule passage while blocking epithelial cells
Benefits
- Excellent Drapability:
- Becomes soft and conformable upon brief hydration, allowing it to "drape" over uneven bone
- Precise Placement:
- The material is repositionable and does not stick to surgical instruments during application
- Patient Comfort:
- Eliminates the need for a second surgery for removal, which is required for non-resorbable membranes
- Biocompatibility:
- Highly purified collagen ensures minimal inflammatory response and supports early tissue integration
- Economical:
- Positioned as a "fairly priced" and high-quality alternative to more expensive cross-linked membranes
