Ti-Enforced® ePTFE membranes are a multi-layer, non-resorbable membrane intended to be surgically placed under the muco-periosteum to aid in tissue regeneration in accordance with the guided tissue regeneration principle. It is a barrier material with a titanium frame enclosed within two layers of ePTFE material. The titanium reinforcement is intended for space and shape maintenance to contain bone grafting material and to minimize graft movement during wound healing. The membranes are designed to block bacteria penetration, and impede the migration and establishment of gingival tissue derived cells into bony defects. This provides a more favorable environment for neovascularization and for bone derived cells to repopulate and repair the defect. The Ti-Enforced® membranes are textured on both surfaces to improve handling and adhesion between tissue and membrane.
A sterile non-bioabsorbable material intended to be used to aid in the regeneration of tooth support, lost due to periodontal disease or trauma, by acting as a barrier to prevent the down-growth of soft tissue (connective tissue and epithelial cells) into the underlying bone during the healing period. It is a pliable synthetic polymer material that is held in place between soft tissue and bone [e.g., with ligatures, sutures, or pins (may be attached/included)] and applied during periodontal flap surgery and other guided bone regeneration (GBR) and guided tissue regeneration (GTR) surgical procedures. A plasticizer to soften the membrane may be included. This is a single-use device.
