- A multi-layer, non-resorbable barrier membrane featuring a pure titanium framework enclosed within two layers of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE), measuring 32mm x 40mm featuring a pure titanium framework enclosed within two layers of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE)
Uses
- Buccal Fenestration & Dehiscence Repair:
- Covering exposed implant threads or root surfaces on the exterior/buccal plate of the jaw
- Localized Ridge Augmentation:
- Reconstructing horizontal bone volume loss on the front-facing walls of the maxilla or mandible prior to implant placement
- Anterior Socket Preservation:
- Tightly sealing extraction wounds (such as incisors, canines, or premolars) where the buccal wall is thin or damaged
- Periodontal Bone Defects:
- Containing particulate bone grafts in advanced defects to allow undisturbed osteogenesis
Features
- Anatomical Buccal Shape (19mm x 26mm):
- Designed specifically to conform over the curving contours of buccal bone defects, reducing the need for extensive trimming
- Pure Titanium Skeleton:
- Contains an internal, implant-grade titanium framework that provides rigid shape-and-space maintenance, this tents up the muco-periosteal flap and protects the underlying graft from collapsing forces
- Macro-Perforated Construction:
- Engineered with precise holes through the ePTFE layers to facilitate direct neovascularization across the barrier, this allows blood capillaries to infiltrate the graft directly from the overlying periosteum rather than forcing vascularity to travel solely from the wound margins
- Double-Sided "Strawberry Field" Texture:
- Designed with a specialized micro-texture on both surfaces, this drastically increases friction against host tissues, ensuring stable placement and preventing the membrane from sliding around the bone graft
- Bacteria-Excluding ePTFE:
- Despite the vascular access holes, the core passive ePTFE sheeting provides a reliable physical barrier that blocks bacterial penetration and keeps fast-moving soft tissue cells out of the defect
Benefits
- Zero-Recoil Malleability:
- The embedded titanium frame allows the membrane to be easily bent, curved, and molded into a rigid three-dimensional dome shape, once shaped, it holds its exact form with no spring-back, eliminating graft migration
- Accelerated Neovascularization:
- By permitting direct trans-membrane blood flow, the perforated layout speeds up nutrient and blood delivery, leading to more efficient bone regeneration and higher overall cell viability
- Extended Implantation Stability:
- Engineered to remain completely stable under the muco-periosteum for more than 30 days and up to 6 months, giving slow-forming bone ample time to mature before the membrane is retrieved
- Predictable Margin Isolation:
- The sheet can be easily trimmed with surgical scissors without leaving sharp edges. Clinicians can extend the barrier 3mm past the defect borders and at least 1mm away from adjacent, uninvolved teeth for comprehensive isolation
