Non-reinforced
Design principle
The Non-Reinforced membrane has a two layer design. The outer layer consists of tissue friendly PTFE that is resistant to bacteria. The inner PTFE layer has an expanding texture that enables predictable hard tissue integration. This combination results in a membrane that is easy to handle and protects the augmentation site in a predictable manner.
Soft tissue side
The soft tissue side of the membrane has a tight texture. This enables soft tissue interaction which leads to membrane stability. It also creates a barrier function which minimizes the risk of infection.
Hard tissue side
The hard tissue side has an expanded texture that enables predictable hard tissue interaction. In combination with the firm mesh configuration complete bone fill can be achieved.
Intended Use
Coverage of smaller bone defects where the surrounding bone provides sufficient stability. Examples are extraction sockets, smaller dehiscences or fenestrations, or coverage of the lateral window after sinus elevation procedure.
Assortment
See Product Sheet for order details.
Material
The membrane material is polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). Membrane thickness is 0.25 mm.
Texture
The different surface textures and porosities are created by varying nodes and fibrils within the PTFE material matrix.
Packaging
NeoGen® Non-Reinforced membranes are provided sterile and double packed in a box and a pouch. Content of the pouch is sterile. The membranes cannot be re-sterilized.
Membrane orientation
Membrane orientation is identified by the word UP embossed into the soft tissue side of the membrane. This side is facing up in the delivery pouch.
