permamem® | HIGH-DENSITY PTFE BARRIER MEMBRANE

Description

permamem® is an exceptionally thin, non-resorbable, biologically inert and biocompatible membrane made of high-density polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). permamem® maintains its structural integrity both during the initial implantation and over time. Due to its dense structure the membrane acts as an efficient barrier against bacterial and cellular penetration, and may therefore be left in place for open healing in certain indications. 
The use of permamem® is especially recommended for regeneration fo bone defects outside the ridge contour, because it offers a higher stability and superior space-maintaining properties compared to resorbable (collagen) membranes. In addition, open healing with permamem® in socket or ridge preservation enables maintenance of the soft tissue architecture and contours since no primary wound closure is required. Due to the missing flap closure, the mucogingival line will not be displaced and the attached/keratinized gingiva will be preserved.

Properties
- 100% synthetic PTFE barrier membrane 
- Ultra-thin (~0.08 mm)
- Impervious to bacteria due to dense structure 
- Easily removable due to minimal tissue ingrowth into the surface structure
- No need for primary soft tissue closure (indication-dependent)
- Easy recovery thanks to blue color
- Rounded edges for minimal tissue trauma 
- Easy fixation with sutures or pins

INDICATIONS:
permamem® is a temporarily implantable membrane for use as a space-creating barrier in GBR and GTR.
