Product Description
Ossiflex Bone Membranes from VTS are thin, flexible sheets made of natural, demineralized cortical bone. Ideal for Guided Tissue Regeneration, oronasal fistulas and more, they are the membranes you have been looking for:
| • |
Avoids premature soft tissue in-growth into areas of bone healing |
| • |
No removal necessary |
| • |
Can be sutured through to keep them in place |
| • |
Can be cut and curved to fit
|
| • |
Proven technology 1-13 |
Indications
| Use Ossiflex™ Bone Membranes for: |
| • |
Guided Tissue Regeneration (GTR) 1-6 |
| • |
Oronasal Fistulas |
| • |
Cleft Palates |
| • |
Cranio Facial Defects |
| • |
Fracture Bridging
|
| • |
Mandibular Canal Protection |
Veterinarian and Patient Benefits
| Why use Ossiflex: |
| • |
Guided Tissue Regeneration: Placing a membrane between bone graft and soft tissue avoids premature soft tissue in-growth. 1-6 |
| • |
Oronasal Fistulas: While thin and flexible, Ossiflex Bone Membranes are strong enough to keep food particles from traveling through oronasal defects. |
| • |
Cleft Palates and Cranio-Facial Defects: Ossiflex Bone Membranes are also ideal for treating cranio-maxillo-facial defects. For example, they can be used to support mucoperiosteal advancement flaps for closure of palatal defects. |
| • |
Fracture Bridging: Ossiflex Bone Membranes can be wrapped around mandibular
fractures to support healing. |
| • |
Mandibular Canal Protection: Ossiflex Bone Membranes can be placed over open mandibular canals to keep growing tissue from impinging the nerve.
