A 30mm x 40mm resorbable, porcine-derived barrier membrane used in guided bone regeneration (GBR) procedures, this thin (0.13mm thickness) matrix isolates bone defects that physically keeps rapidly proliferating soft tissue cells out so that slower-growing bone cells can rebuild the site undisturbed
Uses
- Maxillary Sinus Lifts:
- Covers the large lateral window bony osteotomy to trap and protect bone graft particulates placed within the sinus cavity
- Complex Ridge Reconstruction:
- Shields extensive vertical or horizontal alveolar ridge augmentations spanning multiple missing tooth sockets
- Severe Fenestration & Dehiscence:
- Restores and isolates extensive root-exposure bone defects surrounding failing or newly placed implants
- Segmental Jaw Defect Correction:
- Encloses large surgical bony voids following major cystectomies, trauma, or the extraction of multiple impacted teeth in a row
Features
- Extensive Dimensions (ICG3040):
- Sized at 30mm x 40mm, making it the largest format sheet in the InterCollagen Guide line to accommodate expansive surgical fields
- Porcine Pericardium Sourcing:
- Crafted from highly purified Type I and Type III porcine pericardium tissue, resulting in a naturally dense, cross-linked, and multi-layered collagen matrix
- Bilayer Barrier Performance:
- Engineered with a smooth side to block epithelial cell down-growth, and a texturized, rough side to encourage initial cell attachment and new vascular capillary networks
- 15-Week In-Vivo Durability:
- Retains functional tissue exclusion properties for up to 13 to 15 weeks before completely breaking down
Benefits
- Maximum Defect Coverage:
- The large 30 x 40mm size lets surgeons confidently overlap defect margins by the recommended 2 to 3 mm on all sides, reducing the need to piece together multiple smaller membranes
- Zero Retrieval Surgery:
- Because the sheet is entirely bio-resorbable and integrates safely into the patient's native tissue, it removes the need, pain, and chair time of a secondary surgery to pull out non-resorbable dPTFE meshes
- No Material Curling or Floating:
- Exhibits excellent drapability and instant hydration when dipped in sterile saline or patient blood. It lays completely flat against the bone without twisting or spring-back memory
- High Structural Tear Resistance:
- Maintains a robust mechanical tensile strength of at least 5 Newtons. This allows the sheet to be stretched tightly and fixed with bone tacks, screws, or heavy suturing without splitting
- Sterile and Biocompatible:
- Terminally sterilized using gamma irradiation to ensure absolute product purity. It allows blood plasma and vital micro-nutrients to filter through to prevent graft starvation while blocking unwanted soft cells
