- 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
- Full Arch Reconstruction:
- Providing a unified barrier over multiple grafting sites across the jaw
- Massive Ridge Augmentation:
- Rebuilding severe horizontal or vertical bone loss spanning several tooth positions
- Large-Scale Sinus Lifts:
- Protecting the Schneiderian membrane and bone graft in complex sinus floor elevations
- Segmental Bone Defects:
- Treating large voids caused by trauma, tumor resection, or congenital conditions
Features
- Maximized Surface Area:
- At 30x40mm, it is the largest standard resorbable option, ideal for "wrapping" significant bone grafts
- Extended Barrier Function:
- Offers a resorption profile of 16 to 26 weeks (4–6 months), ensuring the graft remains undisturbed during critical bone maturation
- High Tensile Strength:
- Derived from intact human pericardium, it is highly tear-resistant and can be sutured or tacked with minimal risk of perforation
- Fast Hydration:
- Supplied dehydrated but rehydrates quickly in sterile saline, becoming highly pliable and drapeable
- AATB Accredited:
- Safely processed according to FDA and AATB standards to eliminate pathogens while preserving native collagen
Benefits
- Seamless Coverage:
- Eliminates the need for multiple smaller membranes, which can create weak points or overlapping "bulk" under the soft tissue
- 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
