Bioteck Pericardium Membrane

The pericardium membrane is a structured membrane, where many molecular links among its constituents (collagen and elastin) are preserved. Its protection time is quite long: 3-4 months. After this time degradation begins, and the membrane is no longer occlusive. Compared to a standard collagen membrane, its protection time is far longer. However, it can be handled just as easily as a collagen one. Fixation is not necessary but recommended if stability is uncertain.

Indications:   

To protect most medium to large‐sized bone grafts, and in particular:     

• To protect grafted peri‐implant defects showing more than 3 exposed threads   
• To protect every kind of grafted periodontal site   
• To protect grafted post‐extractive  sites even when one or more walls are missing   
• To cover GBR granular grafts  
• To cover horizontal and/or vertical onlay grafts performed with sheets or blocks   
• To protect inlay grafts

Example: using HRT‐001 (Heart pericardium membrane) to protect a graft with granules to perform a lateral GBR.

Two implants are placed, but a large lateral defect is present.

The defect is filled with a mixture of cortical‐ cancellous bone granules BGM‐05 and autologous bone, collected with a scraper.

 The defect is protected with a HRT‐001 Heart pericardium membrane

Second look (6 months).
