Osgide® 15X20 mm

Osgide^® is a bioresorbable barrier membrane for use in guided tissue regeneration (GTR) and guided bone regeneration (GBR).

In periodontal bone defects, the membrane creates a protected environment for bone regeneration in the defect area and supports osteoneogenesis by presenting a barrier to the infiltration (migration) of soft tissue and promotes the growth of osteogenic cells in the bony defect.

Osgide^® is a high purity membrane which is manufactured from porcine starting materials under controlled and standardized conditions. It consists of a fiber network of collagen and elastin fibers, which prevents the migration of bone graft material and has very high mechanical stability.

Osgide^® can be easily secured with pins, if necessary, and a tension–free closure of the mucosa can be obtained. The surface textures of membranes demonstrate an influence on the morphology of the adherent cells.⁴

Product Benefitis:

Because of an optimized technical manufacturing process the Osgide^® membrane combines the following benefits:

• High therapeutic safety in virtue of a reliably longer barrier function of up to 16 weeks ¹
• Excellent tissue integration, since Osgide^® is not chemically wetted and therefore has very good biological and cellular compatibility
• Excellent plasticity
• High tensile strength/mechanical stability
• Dimensional stability, even in the wetted state
• Ideal combinability with a wide range of bone grafting materials
• Easy and reliable use

Indications:

• Guided tissue regeneration (GTR)
• Guided bone regeneration (GBR)

Critical-The reliable barrier Function! :

Osgide^®is a bioresorbable membrane that eliminates a second surgical procedure for removing the membrane. With resorbable membranes, the stability of the membrane versus degradation is of considerable significance. A number of studies in the literature demonstrate that in the unwetted collagen membranes the barrier function is only guaranteed for a short period, ^2,3 and can vary significantly. Therefore, high priority was placed on reproducible high stability during the development of Osgide^®. Due to the slowed biodegradation of Osgide^®, the membrane’s barrier function is not prematurely interrupted but is preserved for 12 to 16 weeks.
