EpiGuide®

EpiGuide Bioresorbable Barrier Matrix is beneficial in periodontal restorative surgeries and Guided Tissue Regeneration (GTR) by supporting the initial blood clot and maintaining competence of collateral circulation. It is the only bio-resorbable synthetic matrix with a unique 3-layer technology to provide predictable healing while maintaining sufficient rigidity.

Layer 1: Defect Interface
Limited porosity supports a vigorous uptake of fluid blood, facilitates adherence to the tissue surface and prevents fibroblasts from reaching the defect.

Layer 2: Inner Surface
The inner labyrinth catches fibroblasts and forces them into random pathways while inner chambers enable collateral circulation and unrestricted flow of interstitial fluid through the membrane.

Layer 3: Gingival Interface
Numerous voids and interconnected pathways decelerate fibroblast infiltration, promoting cell attachment.

EpiGuide preserves space around teeth for development of bone and periodontal support tissues. It maintains architecture and structural integrity for 20 weeks after implantation with complete resorption occurring in 6 to 12 months.

EpiGuide comes in a sterilized 18 × 30 mm single membrane sheet ready for easy specialized shaping. The sterile sheet resides in an outer package protected for shipping and special pricing is available on multiple membranes.
