Ti-oss Guide collagen membrane. More membrane, longer function,¹ less money ²

MATERIAL
Ti-oss Guide is a 15 x 30mm dental barrier membrane composed of Type-1 porcine collagen with:

• Easy handling: Excellent tensile strength, fast hydration and high tear resistance – wet or dry.  

• Extended barrier function:  Compared to native collagen membrane (Bio-Gide) with a minimum function barrier time of 12 weeks¹

• Excellent economy: More membrane (15 x 30mm) for less cost compared to 1st generation alternatives^2/3

EXTENDED BARRIER FUNCTION

Despite significant evidence supporting collagen membranes in GBR, users frequently report premature degradation. This limitation of 1st generation materials and the corresponding reduced barrier function led developers to seek methods to prolong degradation time and increase functional performance.  One example is cross-linking which enhances the durability and mechanical properties of collagen and broadens the predictability of applications (1).

A variety of cross-linking techniques exist with one being the addition of EDC.

Collagen membranes like Ti-oss Guide with EDC cross-linking present favourable structural durability at 8 weeks and greater new bone formation with the support of bone substitute material compared to the membrane alone and bone substitute alone [22]. In a dog model, {EDC cross-linked} membranes contributed to higher and long-lasting osteogenic activity, evaluated by immunohistochemical assay [23] compared to two widely used alternatives (A&B).

• Easy to apply and remove.

• Accelerates Healing.

• Absorbent and Patient-friendly.

ORA-AID KEY INDICATIONS

• Extraction sockets – especially as a barrier on open healing sites.

• Dental Implant and Bone Graft Sites.

• Soft Tissue Graft Sites – Recipient and Donor.

• Canker and Protection from orthodontic abrasions.

ORA-AID FEATURES

Ora-Aid comprises a lower mucosal adhesive and absorbent layer (1) an upper protective layer (2) and a backing film (3) that is removed immediately before application.   

When exposed to saliva and blood the lower layer (1) becomes jelly-like, adhesive and adaptive.  The upper layer (2) creates a smooth protective surface. This layer is infused with a minty flavour which aids patient acceptance. 

ORA-AID:

• Adheres and Absorbs – Ora-Aid adhesion is activated in contact with water or saliva. The gelly-like state crated absorbs wound exudate. 

• Improves Outcomes – Protection from infection, food, brushing and tongue interference. Exudate adsorption.  

• Easy, Convenient and Flexible – Easy to trim with quick adhesion. Can be re-applied by the patient or sutured for longer protection. 

• Patient Acceptance – Ora-Aid is comfortable, not bulky, and they like the pleasant minty flavour. 

ORA-AID PRESENTATION

Ora Aid is available in two sizes. The Regular (Red) is 25 x 15mm and the Large (Green) is 50 x 15mm. 

ORA-AID APPLICATION

• Trim Ora-Aid to match the site before opening – a sterile paper or foil template helps create the ideal shape.

• Remove excess moisture from the site and apply Ora-Aid after peeling off the backing strip. 

• Apply pressure to ensure Ora-Aid has adhered.

3. ORA-AID EXTENDED APPLICATION (Over Suture)

A cross-suture fixed on the labial and lingual tissues over Ora-Aid will provide extended application. This is especially valuable in implant and post-extraction sites where achieving tension-free closure adds unnecessary trauma and can compromise soft tissue aesthetics.

25 x 25 x 1.1mm

FEATURES 

• Non-woven polymer matrix created by the Jet-Spray Technique.

• Easily cut without fragmentation.

• Sodium Hyaluronate Coating.

Provides structural support for 4 to 6 months.

• Unlike collagen alternatives, Chondro Matrix contains no animal or human tissue.

INDICATIONS

• Cartilage repair and the surgical treatment of pain and restricted mobility in degenerative and traumatic changes of the synovial joints.

• Intra-articular haemostasis and to protect underlying tissue when there is pain and restricted movement in cases of degenerative and traumatic changes in the synovial joints. 

CONTRAINDICATIONS

• Known allergies to one of the constituents.

• Do not implant Chondro Matrix directly into the bloodstream.

• Patients who have to undergo chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy up to three weeks after the implant.

• Children or pregnant and lactating women, or patients with inflammatory joint diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis and Bechterew‘s disease.

SCIENCE

Chondro Matrix is a high-tech, sterile, absorbable matrix with sponge-like characteristics.  The non-woven Polymer strands are treated with Sodium Hyaluronate to aid in the healing of articular cartilage damage within a bone-marrow stimulating technique.  Chondro Matrix is a cell-free implant for joint cartilage repair and used for cartilage repair and for the surgical treatment of pain and restricted mobility in degenerative and traumatic changes of the synovial joints.

Chondro Matrix is intended to cover traumatic cartilage defects in the healing of articular cartilage defects. The compact layer with a smooth surface plays the role of a barrier, preventing the mesenchymal stem cells from diffusing into the joint space and protecting them against mechanical stress.  Chondro Matrix induces mesenchymal progenitor cells (stem cells) to differentiate into cartilage cells.

DEGRADATION

The polymer of Chondro Matrix is metabolised by the body into CO2 and H2O.
