The OsteoFlex™ Resorbable Pericardium Membrane is an excellent choice for a flexible, long lasting membrane and can be used with the OsteoGen® Plugs when the buccal wall is missing.
Exceptional Handling Properties
The OsteoFlex™ is easy to place and reposition when hydrated. It has no memory becoming highly flexible and adaptable to the contours of the defect site.
Can Be Stretched and Sutured
The OsteoFlex™ has a high tensile strength yielding a membrane with excellent resistance to suture pullout. Membrane can be used with the TriStar®tenting screw system to establish increased ridge height and width.
Naturally Extended Resorption
The OsteoFlex™ membrane achieves prolonged barrier function (over three months) while maintaining a naturally microporous collagen structure without any chemical crosslinkers ensuring optimal tissue integration
Benefits of the OsteoFlex Membrane
Guided bone regeneration (GBR) is a common technique in implant dentistry and is used in the treatment of bony defects. During GBR, the dentist will need to seal off the anatomic site where the bone is regenerating in order to ensure a healthy bone structure and that no foreign contanimates form an infection in the site. Membranes are often used due to their function as both biological and mechanical barriers against unwanted cells that are not involved in bone formation. The OsteoFlex resorbable pericardial membrane is an exceptional dental membrane capable of extreme flexibility and durability. This memoryless membrane can contour to complex defect sites for long periods of time, allowing for a successful and easy bone regeneration or bone graft.
