- A 14mm x 24mm 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
- Large Anterior Voids:
- Encloses massive bone loss in the prominent aesthetic zone, such as when multiple adjacent front teeth have been extracted or damaged
- Significant Vertical and Horizontal Augmentations:
- Provides a solid ceiling over deep alveolar ridge deficits that require multi-millimeter expansion before safe implant insertion
- Complex Multi-Tooth Sockets:
- Spans and shields severe multi-rooted extraction sockets or combined periodontal-endodontic defects
- Extensive Peri-Implant Dehiscence:
- Caps substantial bone recession windows or exposed dental implant threads across wider single-site spans
Features
- Malleable Titanium Skeleton:
- Incorporates a medical-grade titanium mesh framework sandwiched between two layers of ePTFE protective thin film
- Large Anterior Form Factor:
- Formatted to precisely 18mm x 29mm, giving the ideal length and width to cover larger anterior and premolar regions with comfortable 2–3mm overlap margins
- Double-Sided "Strawberry Field" Texture:
- Molded with raised, macro-textured dimples on both faces to maximize mechanical friction against the bone graft underneath and the gum flap above
- Permanently Inert Composition:
- Fabricated from non-resorbable biomaterials that preserve their mechanical shield capabilities indefinitely until removed
- Calibrated Micro-Porosity:
- Designed with fine sub-micron pores that function as a strict physical filter, blocking cellular or bacterial migration
Benefits
- Superior Space-Making Capability:
- The integrated titanium grid gives the sheet exceptional physical memory. Surgeons can dome or "tent" the membrane over large defects, ensuring it will not collapse under pressure from facial muscles, moving lips, or tight suturing
- Advanced Wound and Graft Stability:
- The double-sided texturing stops the membrane from sliding around during placement and locks loose bone particles firmly in place, neutralizing micro-movements that ruin bone formation
- Bacterial Exclusion Barrier:
- The microporous ePTFE matrix seals off the regenerative site, keeping malicious oral bacteria from infiltrating the underlying bone graft zone
- Passive Fluid Transudation:
- Allows interstitial fluids, life-giving plasma nutrients, and oxygen to flow back and forth through the barrier to fuel swift vascularization
- Tear-Free Surgical Retrieval:
- Because the material retains its mechanical strength and does not dissolve or fragment over time, it can be lifted out cleanly as a single sheet during secondary uncoverings
