BIOMEND EXTEND 20MM X 30MM (0141) BioMend Extend Absorbable Collagen Membrane is an absorbable, implantable material that is indicated for guided tissue generation procedures in periodontal defects to enhance regeneration of periodontal apparatus. The BioMend Extend membrane is a white, compressed, non-friable matrix fabricated from collagen derived from bovine deep flexor (Achilles) tendon.
A sterile bioabsorbable material intended to be used to aid in the regeneration of tooth support, lost due to periodontal disease or trauma, and to regenerate bone defects around implants and at sites intended for implant placement, by acting as a barrier to prevent the down-growth of soft tissue into the underlying bone during the healing period. It is a pliable material made of animal-derived collagen (e.g., porcine) which may be fixed to soft tissues with sutures; it is applied between soft tissue and bone during periodontal flap surgery and applied to grafted bone defects in guided bone regeneration (GBR) and guided tissue regeneration (GTR) procedures. This is a single-use device.
