BIOMET 3i Introduces A New Membrane Engineered To Yield Flexibility And Support Soft-Tissue Healing

Palm Beach Gardens, FL – (September 15, 2011) – BIOMET 3i announced today an addition to the company’s growing regenerative portfolio – the OsseoGuard Flex™ Membrane. OsseoGuard Flex™ is a resorbable collagen membrane with unique crosslinking techniques that yield an optimal balance between handling and resorption. The OsseoGuard Flex™ Membrane is derived from highly purified Type I and Type III bovine dermis collagen and is engineered to yield flexibility, yet also retain a suitable resorption profile for procedures that necessitate a longer resorption time, such as Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) procedures. OsseoGuard Flex™ is flexible enough for grafting procedures like ridge augmentations, is easy to handle and is clinically manageable. OsseoGuard Flex™ is also designed to facilitate the desired aesthetic outcomes because it is flexible enough to drape over defects, limiting the occurrence of the edges of the membrane protruding through the soft tissue. In addition, the membrane is designed to allow soft tissue epithelialization in the event of an exposure. OsseoGuard Flex™ is intended for use in oral surgical procedures as a resorbable membrane in the following applications: Peri-implant defects in immediate or delayed extraction sockets Localized ridge augmentation Alveolar ridge reconstruction Filling of bone defects GBR in dehiscence defects GTR in periodontal defects
