More than a barrier. Versatile flexibility.
Desirable handling characteristics
- Because it’s not side specific, it’s easy to handle and to place
- With outstanding flexibility, it easily drapes over defects and naturally conforms to contours
- Flexibility with placement as it can be easily repositioned for precise placement
- Can be placed dry or hydrated
- Even when hydrated, does not adhere to gloves or instruments
- Takes sutures or tacks with ease, for simple yet secure fixation
Dependable strength
- Proven biomechanical strength enhances fixation assurance*
- In pre-clinical testing, of the suture pull out strength was three times higher than BioGide®*
- Because of its significantly higher suture pullout strength, can be firmly anchored to surrounding tissue with minimal risk of tearing or detachment*
Supports wound healing
- Biocompatible because it’s meticulously manufactured from highly purified intact porcine collagen and minimally cross-linked for predictable resorption
- Reduced degree of inflammation and foreign body response as compared to BioGide® in pre-clinical testing*
- Protects the graft area from unwanted soft tissue infiltration during the initial phase of healing while still allowing for healthy nutrient transfer
- Resorbs predictably over 3 to 4 months as new host collagen is simultaneously regenerated
- With a slower initial rate of resorption than BioGide®, it provides greater initial stability during the critical early weeks of healing*
- Shown through in vitro and in vivo pre-clinical testing to exceed many of the performance characteristics of BioGide®*
- Available sizes: 15x20mm, 20x30mm, 30x40mm
This new offering along with other recent additions to the Straumann portfolio are more than products they provide customers with a total solution that yields patient satisfaction and practice success.
