Fully resorbing space creating flexible synthetic graft matrix.

UNIQUE FORMULATION

• Resorbable polymer lattice embedded 50% with silicate substituted beta-TCP graft granules (0.05-0.1mm)

• Silicate resorption occurs first inducing angiogenesis and fast apatite formation (1,2,5) in a process biomechanical, radiographically and histologically equivalent to autograft (7) whilst providing an osteoconductive scaffold to support new bone formation.  

• Compressed non-porous barrier layer.

-4mm thickness – ridge augmentation.

-2mm thickness – implant and buccal bone defects.   

FEATURES

• Osteoinductive.

• Osteoconductive.

• Pre-shaped to match socket morphology.

• Easily trim to fill multi-root or other defects. 

• Contains no animal or cadaver tissue and is fully resorbable.

FLEXIBLE APPLICATION

• Wet before application – saline, blood or centrifuged blood products.

• Can be cut, folded and easily tacked.

RESORPTION

• Silicate component resorbs first followed by the Beta-TCP.

• Polymer matrix resorption c6 months.
