INDICATIONS FOR USE
• GBR therapy (horizontal augmentation)
• GBR therapy (vertical augmentation)
• Creating a mechanical barrier that prevents soft tissue migration
• Reconstruction of the alveolar process
• Blood clot stabilization
• Fixation of osteoplastic material

Physical and mechanical properties
The membrane is convenient to use due to its physical and mechanical properties:
1. It does not always require additional fixation due to its high hydrophilic properties.
2. Has a high strength at break and the erupting thread.
3. Tightly stabilizes the graft even of a small volume.
The membrane acts as an exoskeleton and protects the augmentate from ingrowing of the mucosa. When exposed, the membrane is not infected, the tissues heal by secondary
tension.
