Collagen Membrane
The collagen membrane is derived from pericardium or fascia Lata with thicknesses of 0.2-0.6 and 0.6-0.9 mm. These products are utilized effectively as a barrier in various surgeries. The absorption time varies based on their thickness, ranging from 1.5 to 4 months.
INDICATIONS
Derm
This product is essentially an Acellular Dermal Matrix (ADM), comprising a combination of collagen, elastin, and fibrin. Due to its exceptional tensile strength and firmness, especially in thicknesses below 1 millimeter, it can be used as a barrier in GBR (Guided Bone Regeneration) and Sausage technique surgeries. In thicknesses > 1mm, it can serve as an alternative to connective tissue grafts (CTG) for increasing gingival thickness or providing root surface coverage in Gingival Recession procedures.
Note: These products have two surfaces, smooth and porous. Typically, the smooth surface faces outward, and the porous surface adheres to the bonding material. Each surface possesses specific types of collagens. The smooth surface contains collagen types 1 and 5, enhancing cellular guidance, while the porous surface contains collagen types 2 and 4, promoting improved vascularization.
