- 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
- Large Periodontal Defects:
- Containing bone grafts in advanced multi-wall defects to allow undisturbed osteogenesis
- Posterior Alveolar Ridge Augmentation:
- Reconstructing broad horizontal or vertical bony defects before or during prosthetic dental implant placement
- Multi-Tooth Socket Preservation:
- Covering and sealing expansive extraction sites where multiple neighboring teeth or multi-rooted molars have been removed
- Complex Implant Site Preparation:
- Protecting volumetric particulate grafts around dental implants presenting extensive fenestration or dehiscence defects
Features
- Malleable Pure Titanium Frame:
- Contains an internal, implant-grade titanium skeleton that provides rigid shape-and-space maintenance, which tents up the soft tissue flap, preventing it from compressing or collapsing the underlying bone graft
- Macro-Perforated Construction:
- Engineered with precise macro-holes through the ePTFE layers to facilitate direct neovascularization across the barrier, this allows capillaries to infiltrate the graft directly from the overlying periosteum rather than only from the wound edges
- Bacteria-Excluding ePTFE:
- Despite its microvascular access holes, the core medical-grade ePTFE sheets maintain a strict physical barrier that blocks bacterial penetration and keeps fast-moving soft tissue cells out of the defect
- "Strawberry Field" Texture:
- Designed with a double-sided surface micro-texture that vastly increases friction against host tissues, aiding the clinician in stable chairside positioning and primary flap adherence
- Extended Implantation Stability:
- As a non-resorbable barrier material, it is designed to be submerged and remain completely stable under the muco-periosteum for 1 to 6 months before retrieval
Benefits
- Zero-Recoil Form Maintenance:
- The embedded titanium frame allows the membrane to be trimmed easily with surgical scissors and bent into a rigid, three-dimensional dome shape, once adapted, it holds its shape with zero spring-back, eliminating graft migration
- Accelerated Angiogenesis:
- By permitting direct trans-membrane blood flow, the perforated layout speeds up nutrient and blood delivery, leading to more efficient bone regeneration and higher cell viability
- Customizable Adaptation Margins:
- The 25mm x 30mm sheet can be easily trimmed to contour perfectly around the surgical site. Clinicians can seamlessly extend the barrier 3mm past the defect borders for comprehensive margin isolation
- Enhanced Soft-Tissue Adherence:
- The textured surfaces lower the risk of flap dehiscence or early exposure often associated with slick, non-textured non-resorbable membranes
