- A 25mm x 30mm on-resorbable barrier engineered for Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) and Guided Tissue Regeneration (GTR) protocols involving extensive bone loss across multiple teeth in the posterior regions of the jaw
Uses
- Multi-Tooth Posterior Defects:
- Reconstructing expansive bone segments where two or more adjacent molars or premolars have been extracted
- Large Vertical & Horizontal Augmentations:
- Raising the height and widening the thickness of a severely collapsed posterior alveolar ridge
- Massive Particulate Graft Containment:
- Enclosing large volumes of bone graft material to prevent migrating particles from shifting during healing
- Complex Implant Site Development:
- Protecting deep osseous defects around several newly placed or planned dental implants
Features
- Expanded Footprint (25mm x 30mm):
- The largest of the posterior-specific configurations, providing wide surface coverage to eliminate the need for patchworking
- Enclosed Titanium Scaffold:
- A highly moldable, medical-grade titanium frame safely sandwiched between two structural sheets of ePTFE
- Double-Sided Grip Texturing:
- Specially molded textures on both surfaces to increase mechanical friction against adjacent tissues
- Calibrated Micro-Porosity:
- Features a sub-micron pore network that acts as an absolute cell-exclusion filter
- Biocompatible Non-Resorbable Matrix:
- Composed entirely of ultra-pure, implantable expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) that does not chemically break down in the mouth
Benefits
- Superior Space and Shape Maintenance:
- The reinforced internal titanium frame resists severe compression from heavy cheek muscles and tight wound suturing and "tents" the tissue, guaranteeing a stable chamber for bone growth
- Total Authority over Healing Time:
- Because it is non-resorbable, the matrix will not degrade prematurely. Clinicians control the exact duration of protection, allowing large, slow-maturing bone grafts to solidify completely
- Flawless Bacterial Defense:
- The microporous barrier prevents destructive oral bacteria and fast-moving soft tissue cells from invading the bone graft cavity. Concurrently, it permits vital nutrient-rich interstitial fluids to flow through to feed the graft
- Enhanced Clinical Handling:
- The double-sided texturing stops the membrane from slipping during placement. This enhances stabilization and reduces micro-movements that can cause graft failure
- Clean Surgical Retrieval:
- Designed to resist tearing and delamination. Once the bone matrix is successfully established, the entire structure can be unroofed and lifted out cleanly as a single unit
