OpenTex®

Non-resorbable PTFE membrane

OpenTex® Non-Resorbable PTFE Membrane is a pure medical-grade polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) sheet with inert biological features and predictable barrier effect. Due to the smooth surface and small pore size, OpenTex® PTFE Membrane resists the incorporation of bacteria into its structure and eases the removal of the membrane.

MAIN FEATURES

Non-Resorbable

• 100% medical grade PTFE membrane.
• Biologically inert and chemically non-reactive.
• Healing procedure is not interfered with membrane absorption.

Non-Resorbable (Microporous)

• Promote the gingival tissue attachment.
• Enhances ease in the interstitial fluid circulation.
• Resist the bacteria infection and fibroblast cells migration.

MINIMALLY INVASIVE

• Rapid recovery of soft issue.
• Primary Closure is not necessary.
• Virtually imprevious to bacteria.
• Minimum flap reflection or dissection.
• Safe from bacteria infection, even in the event of the exposure.

Withstands Exposure

• Protect the tissue regenaration site.
• Regenerated underlying tissue can be evaluated.
• Provide a proper environment for the growth of blood vessel and osteogenic cells.

BENEFITS

• Precisions slim cut trianglar needle for small penetration area and smooth suturing.
• Minimize damage to surrounding soft tissue.

STRENGTHS

Stability

Non-resorbable PTFE Membrane offers enough healing time to bone regenerative process.

Biologically Inert

PTFE is soft tissue friendly so it is ideal material as a barrier for bone regenerative process.

Withstands to exposure

PTFE Membrane withstands to exposure since it is impervious to bacteria due to their barrier function.

CHARACTERISTICS

Impervious to Bacteria

Most of Oral Bacteria is larger than 1um. OpenTen® is micro-porous material that has the pore size small enough to prevent bacterial infiltration.

Biocompatible

OpenTex® facilitates cell adhesion on the surfaces. Test performed shows that the surface of OpenTex® is not toxic causing cells to adhere well on the surface.

INDICATIONS

GBR (GUIDED BONE REGENERATION)

• Simultaneous use of GBR membrane and implants.
• Augmentation around implant placed in immediate extraction sites or delayed extraction sockets.
• Filling of bone defects after root resection, removal of cysts and removal of retained teeth.
