Key Benefit:

Resorbable collagen membranes that are rigid enough to create and maintain space.1

   

Clinical Advantages:

  • Made of bovine achilles tendon 
  • Two different options of barrier time: 8 weeks max. (BioMend), 18 weeks max. (BioMend Extend)
  • Not side specific for convenient handling
  • Cell-occlusive – serves as barrier to prevent epithelial cell migration and allows passage of essential nutrients
  • Up to 54% more horizontal bone gain when using BioMend Extend membranes to cover bone graft during implant placement

Shown Clinically Successful In:

  • Guided tissue regeneration procedures in periodontal defects
  • Periodontal surgery2, 5, 6 
  • Use in dental surgery procedures as a material for placement in the area of an implant, bone defect or ridge construction2, 7 
  • Sinus lift procedures8

Compared To A Porcine Membrane:*

  • Significantly higher tensile strength in wet and dry state may be useful for guided bone regeneration techniques
  • 34 % more new bone fill and 28 % more bone-to-implant contact when using BioMend Extend Membranes for treatment of implant dehiscence defects.1

Bone Grafting is a common procedure used to prepare a site for dental implant placement in an area where teeth have been loss.
