OsseoGuard® PTFE Non-Resorbable Membranes


Key Benefit:
OsseoGuard PTFE Membranes are manufactured of 100% Dense (non-expanded) PTFE which are impervious to bacteria.1, 2
The proprietary textured surface of OsseoGuard d-PTFE Membranes helps stabilize the membrane and the soft-tissue flap. Hexagonal surface dimples provide a textured surface that increases the area available for cellular attachment without increasing porosity.

Clinical Advantages:
Non-Textured, High-Density PTFE Membrane3:
- Non-Resorbable: Won’t resorb prematurely – you can better manage healing time
- 100% Dense (non-expanded) PTFE – Impervious to bacteria (pore size less than 0.3 μm)
- Can be left exposed – Less surgical time, preservation of soft-tissue architecture and keratinized mucosa
- Soft-tissue attaches, but doesn’t grow through the membrane
- Most cost effective OsseoGuard PTFE membrane

Textured, High-Density PTFE Membranes3:
- Textured surface – Designed to increase membrane stabilization
- Non-Resorbable – Won’t resorb prematurely – you can better manage healing time
- 100% Dense (non-expanded) PTFE – Impervious to bacteria (pore size less than 0.3 μm)
- Purposely leave the membrane exposed
- Soft-tissue attaches but doesn’t grow through the membrane

Titanium-Reinforced, High-Density PTFE Membrane1:
- Grade 1 titanium, lightweight framework - easy to form in 3 dimensions and retains no memory
- Can be molded and shaped for tenting and space maintenance2
- Two different thicknesses (150 µm and 250 µm) resulting in two different handling options
- Demonstrated performance in horizontal and vertical grafting procedures2, 3
