Perforated Tefguard® membranes are made of the same materials and features as Cytoflex® Tefguard® membranes with the exception of perforation. The perforated macro holes allow for direct vascularization across the membrane. Both the Cytoflex® Tefguard® and Perforated Tefguard® membranes are designed to achieve predictable outcomes for GBR procedures.
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.
