PTFE Barrier Membrane

Size: 25 x 30mm (4pk)

Cytoplast™ Non-Resorbable Barrier Membranes are composed of proprietary 100% polytetrafluoroethylene sheet. PTFE is a biologically inert and tissue compatible material. Cytoplast™ Non-Resorbable Barrier Membranes are a high-density sheet with a surface structure and porosity, suitable to prevent integration and passage of bacteria within the interstices of the material, and simultaneously facilitate adhesion of host cells to the material.

These Membranes are designed to reduce the migration and establishment of gingival soft tissue derived cells into bony defects, thus providing a more favorable environment for neovascularization and bone derived cells to repopulate and repair the defect. Since space-making is critical to this procedure, the membrane is sufficiently stiff to prevent spontaneous collapse but supple enough to conform easily to tissue contours and reduce perforations of overlying soft tissue.
