- A multi-layer, non-resorbable barrier membrane featuring a pure titanium framework enclosed within two layers of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE), measuring 25mm x 36mm featuring a pure titanium framework enclosed within two layers of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE)
Uses
- Posterior Extraction Sites:
- Tightly sealing and covering molar extraction wounds where single or multi-rooted teeth have been extracted
- Localized Alveolar Ridge Augmentation:
- Reconstructing horizontal or vertical bone defects in the posterior mandible or maxilla prior to prosthetic implant placement
- Implant GBR Enclosures:
- Creating a protected, rigid chamber around dental implants displaying fenestration or dehiscence defects
- Periodontal Defect Corrections:
- Containing particulate bone grafts in advanced multi-wall bone pockets to allow undisturbed osteogenesis
Features
- Anatomical Single-Winged Layout (25mm x 36mm):
- Uniquely shaped to drape over the alveolar crest and extend down a single tissue plate (buccal or lingual), minimizing extra trimming in posterior zones
- Embedded Pure Titanium Skeleton:
- Features an internal, implant-grade titanium frame that provides rigid shape-and-space maintenance, this tents up the muco-periosteal flap and protects the underlying graft from collapsing forces
- Macro-Perforated Holes:
- Engineered with precise holes through the ePTFE layers to facilitate direct neovascularization across the barrier, this allows blood capillaries to infiltrate the graft directly from the overlying periosteum rather than forcing vascularity to travel solely from the wound edges
- Double-Sided "Strawberry Field" Texture:
- Designed with a specialized micro-texture on both surfaces, this drastically increases friction against host tissues, ensuring stable placement and preventing the membrane from sliding around the bone graft
- Bacteria-Excluding ePTFE:
- Despite the vascular access holes, the core passive ePTFE sheeting provides a reliable physical barrier that blocks bacterial penetration and keeps fast-moving soft tissue cells out of the slow-healing defect
Benefits
- Zero-Recoil Form Maintenance:
- The embedded titanium skeleton allows the membrane to be easily bent, curved, and molded into a rigid three-dimensional dome shape. Once shaped, it holds its exact form with no spring-back, eliminating graft migration
- Accelerated Neovascularization:
- By permitting direct trans-membrane blood flow, the perforated layout speeds up nutrient and blood delivery, leading to more efficient bone regeneration and higher overall cell viability
- Extended Implantation Stability:
- Engineered to remain completely stable under the muco-periosteum for 1 to 6 months, giving slow-forming bone ample time to mature before the membrane is retrieved in a secondary procedure
- Enhanced Soft-Tissue Adherence:
- The textured surfaces improve primary flap adherence, significantly lowering the risk of flap dehiscence or early exposure often associated with slick non-resorbable barriers
