New Barrier Membrane Introduced
« Multiple Failed Bone Grafts | Immediate Insertion for Teeth with Periapical Infections? »
An improved Epi-Guide(tm) Barrier membrane is being introduced by
Curasan, recognized innovators in osseoregeneration products, to meet
clinician requests for a more malleable, less rigid
product. This easier-to-handle membrane remains the only bioresorbable
synthetic matrix on the market with a unique three-layer technology to
provide predictable healing.
For clinicians, the extra malleability offers excellent handling characteristics. Like the original product, the improved Epi-Guide comes in a sterilized 18 x 30 mm single membrane sheet.
Epi-Guide - developed for adjunctive therapy in periodontal restorative surgery, as well as for Guided Tissue Regeneration (GTR) and Guided BoneRegeneration (GBR) applications - is used primarily by implantologists, oraland maxillofacial surgeons, and periodontists. Unlike competitive products
that use collagen from bovine sources, Epi-Guide is synthetic, allaying any patient concerns about the safety of animal derivatives.
Epi-Guide is made by Kensey Nash and marketed in the United States by Curasan Inc., the North Carolina-based subsidiary of Curasan AG.Instructions for use and published data about Epi-Guide and Cerasorb,Curasan’s flagship product, are available on Curasan’s expanded website at:
www.curasan.com., or by calling 888-237-2767.

Well if it works better than the one my OS used I’m all for it. You see mine was put in right after extraction and never hardened. Guess what the implant integrated through my bone. Lucky me!!
Sounds like an interesting and innovative product.
Are root canals safer than dental implants? Does a
membrane need to be used for a implant and not a root canla? Thanks.
I dink a membrane needs to be used for a root canal and a dental implant but not for fillings.
