- A 30mm x 40mm absorbable collagen membrane, it's a "standard" resorption membrane derived from purified bovine tendon, designed to provide a short-term barrier during the early stages of bone and tissue healing
Uses
- Large Ridge Augmentation:
- Protecting long spans of grafted bone across three or more teeth
- Full Arch Socket Preservation:
- Sealing multiple adjacent extraction sites simultaneously
- Massive Sinus Lifts:
- Covering the lateral window and protecting the sinus floor reconstruction
- Segmental Bone Defects:
- Used in major reconstructive cases to prevent soft tissue infiltration into large voids
Features
- 30mm x 40mm Dimensions Size:
- Provides 1200mm² of coverage, the maximum for the HeliMend series
- Bovine Tendon Source:
- Derived from Type I collagen for high biocompatibility and low immunogenicity
- 4-8 Week Resorption:
- A "short-term" barrier that is absorbed naturally, typically within two months
- Dual-Sided Handling:
- Can be applied with either side facing the bone or soft tissue
- Absorbable:
- No secondary surgery is required for removal
Benefits
- Exceptional Handling:
- It becomes very pliable when wet and adheres well to the surgical site without sticking to gloves or instruments
- Wound Stabilization:
- Helps stabilize the blood clot and protects the bone graft from displacement
- Safe Integration:
- Being a highly purified collagen, it integrates seamlessly into the surrounding tissue
