-
Resorbable collagen membrane, derived from porcine pericardium
-
Intended for periodontal and/or dental surgical procedures as a barrier membrane restricting the entry of rapidly proliferating non-osteogenic cells within the bone defect while allowing the ingrowth of slow-growing bone forming cells
-
The membrane is a bio-resorbable barrier which eventually is remodeled and/or incorporated by the host tissue
- Substantially resorbed within 15 weeks after implantation
- Adaptable and easy to handle
- It can be trimmed to the desired size and conforms easily when hydrated
- Terminally sterilized via gamma irradiation.
Indications for Use
- InterCollagen® Guide, alone or in combination with suitable augmentation materials e.g. autogenous bone, allogeneic, xenogeneic or alloplastic bone replacement materials, can be used in guided bone regeneration (GBR) and guided tissue regeneration (GTR) procedures as a biodegradable barrier:
- In the context of a treatment of fenestration defects
- In case of dehiscence defects
- After apicoectomy and resection or retained teeth
- In extraction sockets after tooth extractions
- In case of immediate or delayed augmentation around implants in extraction socket
