- A sterile, 20mm x 30mm resorbable barrier membrane derived from highly purified porcine pericardium designed to provide extended barrier protection and structural support for standard-sized guided tissue or bone regeneration procedures
Uses
- Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR):
- Placed simultaneously with dental implants to shield bone grafting material from soft tissue invasion
- Immediate & Delayed Socket Alterations:
- Covering extraction sockets during ridge preservation to protect the graft matrix
- Localized Ridge Augmentation:
- Protecting localized vertical or horizontal bone grafts ahead of future implant placement
- Dehiscence & Fenestration Repairs:
- Shrouding exposed implant threads or localized root exposures
- Endodontic & Cystic Cavities:
- Aiding bone regeneration following root resections, apicoectomies, or cystectomies
Features
- Natural Pericardium Matrix:
- Derived from the protective sac surrounding the heart, which experiences continuous multi-directional biomechanical stress. This creates an inherently durable, flexible, and tear-resistant microfibril matrix
- Non-Cross-Linked Formula:
- Consists of highly biocompatible Type I and Type III collagens processed entirely without artificial chemical cross-linking agents. This preserves natural tissue integration and prevents local chemical irritation
- Extended ~24-Week Resorption:
- Substantially resists premature breakdown, it maintains absolute barrier functionality for up to 6 months before being degraded by endogenous enzymes into carbon dioxide and water
- Non-Directional Application:
- The membrane is non-directional; either side can face the bone defect or soft tissue without altering clinical success
Benefits
- Dual-State Handling:
- Can be adapted in a dry or hydrated state, when immersing it in sterile saline or blood for roughly 5 minutes yields a highly drapable matrix that contours over complex defects, or leaving it dry provides a rigid sheet ideal for sliding into tight spaces like lateral sinus windows
- Exceptional Tensile Strength:
- Its tough multi-directional structure allows it to be sutured or stabilized with surgical bone tacks without tearing
- Rapid Angiogenesis:
- The natural porous honeycomb microstructure facilitates cellular attachment and trans-membrane vascularization, allowing blood vessels to permeate while blocking soft tissue cells
- Sausage Technique Compatibility:
- The structural resilience makes it ideal for advanced tension-grafting protocols designed to immobilize particulate bone grafts under pressure
