- A 20mm x 30mm absorbable collagen membrane, it's a "standard" resorption membrane derived from purified bovine tendon, designed to provide a short-term barrier during the early stages of bone and tissue healing
Uses
- Multi-Unit Socket Preservation:
- Covering two adjacent extraction sites simultaneously
- Moderate Ridge Augmentation:
- Protecting bone grafts used to increase the width or height of the jawbone
- Sinus Window Coverage:
- Placing over the lateral window access after a sinus lift procedure
- Large Periodontal Defects:
- Treating bone loss that wraps around multiple tooth roots
Features
- 20mm x 30mm Size:
- Provides 600mm² of coverage, making it highly versatile for most general dental surgeries
- Bovine Tendon Source:
- Derived from Type I collagen for high biocompatibility and low immunogenicity
- 4-8 Week Resorption:
- A "short-term" barrier that is absorbed naturally, typically within two months
- Dual-Sided Handling:
- Can be applied with either side facing the bone or soft tissue
- Absorbable:
- No secondary surgery is required for removal
Benefits
- Exceptional Handling:
- It becomes very pliable when wet and adheres well to the surgical site without sticking to gloves or instruments
- Wound Stabilization:
- Helps stabilize the blood clot and protects the bone graft from displacement
- Safe Integration:
- Being a highly purified collagen, it integrates seamlessly into the surrounding tissue
- Cost-Effective:
- Typically more affordable than long-term pericardium or fascia membranes for routine cases
