Special

Tissue Origin:

Heterologous pericardium

Tissue Collagen:

Preserved

Physical form:

Translucent dried membrane

Composition:

100% pericardium

Thickness:

0.2 mm

Estimated Resorbtion:

About 40 days

Characteristics:

Obtained from pericardium of heterologous origin, using an exclusive Tecnoss® process, the dried Special membranes are completely resorbable. Once hydrated, they become translucent and flexible, guiding the growth of epithelium and preventing its invagination: their action favors therefore an optimal regeneration of the underlying bone tissue.

Handling:

The membrane can be shaped with sterile scissors until the desired size is reached; it must then be rehydrated with lukewarm physiological solution. Once it acquires the desired plasticity, it must be adapted to the grafting site.
It is recommended to prepare a pocket with an elevator in order to stabilize the membrane in the site after stitching the flaps. If this is not possible, the membrane can be stabilized with envelope sutures which bridle it with the gingival flaps.

Clinical Information:

In periodontology, the Special membrane can be used to protect and stabilize the biomaterial in the treatment of intrabony defects.
Special can be used to protect the sinus membrane before the insertion of the grafting material, to close sinus membrane perforations. Grafts placed in post-extractive sockets with closed healing procedure can also be protected with this membrane.

The above clinical information is based on the experience of expert surgeons
