- Measuring an expansive 32mm x 40mm, it is explicitly engineered for highly complex Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) and Guided Tissue Regeneration (GTR) protocols that require maximum surface coverage over massive, structurally compromised bone defects on the cheek-facing (buccal) wall of the jaw
Uses
- Massive Buccal Defects:
- Restoring expansive, continuous bone loss along the outer cortical plate of the jaw
- Severe Segmental Alveolar Ridge Augmentation:
- Rebuilding critical vertical height and horizontal width simultaneously across an extensive missing tooth span
- Total Graft Immobilization:
- Enclosing high volumes of particulate bone graft materials to secure them against heavy facial muscle movements
- Advanced Multi-Implant Site Preparation:
- Providing a broad, protective canopy over multiple adjacent dental implants with extensive thread exposure
Features
- Maximized Surface Footprint:
- The large 32mm x 40mm dimension delivers extensive anatomical coverage, eliminating the need to cut and overlap multiple smaller patches
- Malleable Titanium Skeleton:
- Features an internal medical-grade titanium frame safely sandwiched between outer layers of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE), it can be bent and contoured into precise three-dimensional configurations without delaminating during trimming
- Double-Sided Grip Texturing:
- Both faces are molded with a macro-textured pattern to maximize mechanical friction against adjacent soft and hard tissues
- Calibrated Micro-Porosity:
- Designed with precise sub-micron pores that function as an absolute physical cell filter
- Biocompatible Non-Resorbable Profile:
- Composed entirely of highly pure, inert ePTFE that will not degrade or react chemically within the oral cavity
Benefits
- Uncompromising 3D Space Maintenance:
- The internal titanium scaffold creates a highly rigid, non-collapsible canopy. It counteracts the massive compressive forces exerted by tight wound suturing and shifting cheek musculature, ensuring the underlying space remains intact for full osteogenesis
- Total Control Over Maturation Time:
- Because it is completely non-resorbable, the matrix will not break down prematurely. Clinicians dictate the exact length of isolation (up to 6 months), allowing massive volumes of slow-healing bone graft to fully solidify into dense bone before removal
- Impenetrable Cellular & Bacterial Shield:
- The sub-micron pore matrix blocks fast-migrating gingival soft tissue cells and destructive oral bacteria from invading the bone cavity. Simultaneously, it permits interstitial, nutrient-rich fluids to diffuse across to feed the healing bone graft
- Enhanced Anti-Slip Stability:
- The double-sided texturing grips the tissue flap tightly, eliminating micromovements at the healing interface. This prevents the particulate bone matrix from shifting and converting into non-functional scar tissue
- Clean, Tearing-Resistant Removal:
- Highly resistant to fraying or splitting. Once the new bone architecture has consolidated, the entire membrane can be unroofed and lifted out cleanly as a single unit
