NeoGen® Titanium Reinforced Membrane, Medium, I

The NeoGen Titanium-Reinforced Membrane is constructed from three layers. The outer, soft-tissue-friendly PTFE layer is nearly impermeable to bacteria; the middle layer consists of durable and easily moldable titanium mesh; and the inner PTFE layer features an expanded texture that promotes predictable hard tissue integration. Together, these layers form an easy-to-handle membrane that provides reliable protection at the augmentation site.

Soft-Tissue Side:

The soft-tissue side has a dense texture that interacts with the soft tissue, stabilizing the membrane. Its barrier function also reduces the risk of infection.

Titanium Mesh:

The titanium mesh provides strong, moldable reinforcement that retains its shape during the healing phase.

Hard-Tissue Side:

The hard-tissue side features an expanded texture that enables predictable hard-tissue integration. Combined with the rigid mesh configuration, it allows for complete bone regeneration.

Application Area:

NeoGen Titanium-Reinforced Membranes are surgically placed beneath the oral mucosa to enhance the regenerative healing of bone defects. The membrane prevents soft tissue from growing into the defect, creating space for complete bone regeneration. These membranes are particularly useful for covering larger defects where a rigid membrane is needed to protect against external mechanical forces or to form a scaffold for bone growth. Examples include vertical ridge augmentations and large buccal defects.

Material:

• Membrane: Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)
• Mesh: Commercially pure titanium
• Thickness: 0.25 mm

Deformation Resistance:

The mesh reinforcement provides resistance against external forces during healing.

Texture:

The different textures and porosities of NeoGen membranes result from variations in the nodes and fibrils within the PTFE material matrix.

Packaging:

NeoGen membranes, with or without titanium reinforcement, are delivered sterile and double-packed (box and foil). The contents inside the foil are sterile, and the membranes cannot be re-sterilized after use.

Membrane Orientation:

The soft-tissue side (facing outward) is marked with the word "UP," cut from the titanium mesh. This side is positioned upwards in the packaging.
