The GDT BioMembrane is an up-and-coming leading solution in the field of dental implantology as a unique resorbable collagen membrane, crafted from highly purified bovine atelocollagen type I.
A reliable biodegradable barrier for a wide range of osseous regenerative indications, it's specifically intended for use during GBR (Guided Bone Regeneration) and GTR (Guided Tissue Regeneration) processes by meeting all four core requirements:
Exclusion of unwanted cells and tissues
Creation and maintenance of space
Protection of the wound
Stabilization of the underlying blood clot
Composition and Features
Composed of non-cross-linked collagen, mimicking the natural bone structure and promoting guided bone regeneration
Apyrogenic and sterile, readily integrating with surrounding tissues for seamless healing
Fully resorbable within 4-5 months, leaving behind no fibrous remnants
Biocompatible, minimizing foreign body reactions and promoting tissue acceptance
Clinical Applications
GDT BioMembrane's versatility make it suitable for various bone and soft tissue defect reconstructions in implantology, including implant site preparation and defect filling
Guided bone regeneration (GBR) procedures
Sinus lift augmentations
Cystectomy and root apex resection aftercare
Closure of perforations in the maxillary sinus or mandibular canal.
Stabilizing blood clots after tooth extraction
Features and Advantages
The collagen structure encourages bone growth while preventing unwanted epithelial cell migration, creating an optimal environment for osseointegration
Ease of handling and trimming allows for precise adaptation to diverse defect shapes and sizes
Simple suturing protocol and minimal post-operative care requirements streamline the surgical workflow for both the clinician and patient
Faster healing and reduced patient discomfort due to the biocompatible nature and gradual resorption of the membrane
Product Constraints:
As with any biomaterial, individual patient variability and potential for adverse reactions must be considered.
The choice of GDT BioMembrane should be based on the specific indication and individual patient factors, alongside the clinician's expertise and judgment.
The GDT BioMembrane presents a promising addition to the armamentarium of dental implant surgeons and oral surgeons.
Its collagen-based composition, resorbable nature, and diverse applications offer potential benefits for bone regeneration and surgical workflow optimization.
