- A long-term resorbable collagen barrier membrane, specifically designed for extensive dental bone grafting and ridge reconstruction procedures
Uses
- Large Ridge Augmentations:
- Covers extensive bone grafts where a smaller membrane (like the 15x20mm) would be insufficient
- Multi-Unit Extractions:
- Ideal for protecting bone grafts across several adjacent tooth sockets
- Sinus Window Protection:
- Seals large lateral window openings in sinus lift surgeries
- Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR):
- Provides the necessary 6+ month barrier for significant vertical or horizontal bone growth
Features
- Increased Size:
- Measures 20mm x 30mm, providing 100% more surface area than the 15mm x 20mm OUSA1S model
- Extended Durability:
- Maintains structural integrity for up to 28 weeks, preventing soft tissue interference during the slow bone-healing phase
- High Tensile Strength:
- Can be aggressively manipulated and fixed with sutures or bone tacks without ripping
- Bovine Type I Collagen:
- Derived from high-purity Achilles tendon for maximum biocompatibility
- Dual-Sided Use:
- The membrane is not side-specific, reducing the risk of incorrect placement during surgery
Benefits
- Efficiency:
- One large membrane can cover multiple surgical sites, reducing the need to overlap smaller pieces
- Space Maintenance:
- Stiff enough to maintain space for bone grafting material while remaining flexible when hydrated
- Stable Healing:
- The long resorption time (approx. 7 months) is ideal for complex cases that require prolonged protection
- Cost-Effective:
- Often more economical for large defects than using multiple smaller membranes
- No Removal Surgery:
- Naturally degrades and is absorbed by the body, improving patient
