- A 20mm x 30mm resorbable allograft barrier designed for guided bone and tissue regeneration that's derived from the sac surrounding the human heart (pericardium) and is valued for its unique combination of mechanical strength and high pliability
Uses
- Large Ridge Augmentation:
- Rebuilding long sections of the jawbone across multiple missing teeth
- Massive Sinus Lifts:
- Providing a wide protective barrier for significant sinus floor reconstructions
- Multi-Unit Socket Preservation:
- Covering two or more adjacent extraction sites simultaneously
- Complex Periodontal Surgery:
- Used for generalized bone loss where smaller 15x20mm membranes would be insufficient
Features
- 20x30mm Dimensions:
- Provides 300mm² more coverage than the standard 15x20mm size
- High Tensile Strength:
- The multi-layered collagen fibers provide the toughest mechanical properties of any natural resorbable membrane
- Slow Resorption:
- Maintains structural integrity for 4 to 6 months, protecting the site during the most vulnerable bone-growth stages
- Allograft Origin:
- Human-derived tissue ensures optimal biocompatibility and integrates naturally with the patient's own tissue
- Sterile Packaging:
- Packaged dehydrated; it gains extreme flexibility and "drape-ability" once rehydrated in sterile saline
Benefits
- Cost-Efficient Coverage:
- Often more economical than using two smaller membranes for a single large defect
- Superior Handling:
- Unlike thinner collagen membranes, pericardium is drapeable and stays exactly where placed on the grafting site
- Eliminates Second Surgery:
- As a fully resorbable material, it does not need to be surgically removed, reducing patient discomfort
- Excellent Biocompatibility:
- Because it is an allograft (human tissue), it minimizes the risk of immune rejection compared to some synthetic options
- Space Maintenance:
- The multi-directional strength of the tissue helps prevent the membrane from collapsing into the defect
