OSTEOBIOL DERMA 30X30 TECNOSS

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

The Derma membrane can be shaped to the desired form using scissors; subsequently, it must be hydrated for 5 minutes in warm sterile physiological solution.
Once the desired plasticity is achieved, it must be adapted to the grafting site. It is always advisable to prepare a pocket with a dissector to stabilize the membrane in the site after suturing the flaps. If this is not possible, the membrane must be fixed with a purse-string suture that attaches it to the gingival flaps.

CLINICAL INDICATIONS

Graft protection: the Derma membrane is a resorbable collagen barrier used to protect and stabilize graft materials; exclusively in this specific clinical indication, it can also be partially exposed due to its excellent tissue integration characteristics.
Soft tissue enhancement: if a residual band of keratinized tissue is still present around the teeth or implants, the Derma membrane can be used as an alternative to connective tissue grafting to improve the quality of the adjacent tissue.
Gingival recessions: Miller class I and II gingival recessions can be treated with the Derma membrane to spare patients the morbidity and discomfort caused by connective tissue harvesting. It is recommended to completely cover the Derma membrane with the coronally repositioned flap and to avoid membrane exposure. The Derma membrane, with appropriately rounded corners, is also indicated for the tunneling technique.

Estimated resorption time: approximately 3 months.

Advantages

Possible substitute for autologous connective tissue, when clinical indications allow. Avoids operative and post-operative discomfort for the patient from harvesting from the palate.
