Description

Surgitime PTFE is a synthetic non-absorbable membrane that is 100% biocompatible and not derived from animal source. This Membrane is considered to be a barrier for tissue regeneration. polytetraflouroethylene membranes or mechanical barriers for guided bone regeneration are used to prevent migration of cells from epithelial and connective tissues, thus providing a proper space for the formation of a natural fibrin structure which is the bone tissue precursor. Surgitime PTFE are a high-density sheet with a surface structure and porosity suitable to prevent intergration and passage of bacteria within the interstices of the material, and simultaneously facilitate adhesion of the host cells and the material.
