NeoGen® Titanium Reinforced Membrane, Large, I

The NeoGen Titanium-Reinforced Membrane is composed of three layers. The outer, soft-tissue-friendly PTFE layer is nearly impermeable to bacteria; the middle layer is made from a strong and moldable titanium mesh; and the inner PTFE layer features an expanded texture that allows for 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 of the membrane has a dense texture that interacts with soft tissue and stabilizes the membrane. Its barrier function also reduces the risk of infection.

Titanium Mesh:

The titanium mesh provides strong and moldable reinforcement that maintains its shape throughout the healing process.

Hard-Tissue Side:

The hard-tissue side has an expanded texture that enables predictable integration with hard tissue. Together with the rigid mesh structure, complete bone regeneration can be achieved.

Application Area:

NeoGen Titanium-Reinforced Membranes are surgically placed beneath the oral mucosa to enhance 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 used to cover larger defects where a rigid membrane is needed to protect against external mechanical forces or form a scaffold for bone growth outside the bony envelope. 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 the membrane with resistance against external forces.

Texture:

The different textures and porosities of the NeoGen membranes are achieved through variations in the nodes and fibrils within the PTFE material matrix.

Packaging:

NeoGen membranes with and 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," which is cut out from the titanium mesh. This side is positioned upwards in the packaging.
