Bioteck Collagen Membrane

The Biocollagen membrane made of collagen from Achille’s tendon, is particularly easy to handle. The protection time is 4-6 weeks. After this period, the barrier effect is no more guaranteed, and resorption begins. It is the best option to cover small defects where regeneration occurs rapidly. If left dry, works as haemostatic and it is initially rigid. This can help to contain granular grafts.

Indications:

• To protect small peri‐implant grafted sites (less than 3 threads exposed)
• To protect small periodontal grafted sites
• To protect the access window after performing a sinus lift according to Misch
• To repair small sinus membrane tears (up to 2‐3 mm), during sinus lift procedures

Example: using BCG‐01 (Biocollagen collagen membrane) to repair a little tear of the Schneider membrane.

The sinus membrane is detached during a sinus lift.

The membrane shows a little tear.

A collagen BCG‐01 membrane is placed to repair the tear. Note that, in order to facilitate its adhesion, it is placed still dry.
