A quick look at Membrane Flex

• Desirable handling characteristics.
• Because it’s not side specific, it’s easy to handle and to place.
• With outstanding flexibility, it easily drapes over defects and naturally conforms to contours.
• Flexibility as it can be easily repositioned for precise placement.
• Can be placed dry or hydrated.
• Even when hydrated, does not adhere to gloves or instruments.
• Takes sutures or tacks with ease, for simple yet secure fixation.
• Dependable strength.
• Proven biomechanical strength enhances fixation assurance.*
• In pre-clinical testing, the suture pull out strength was three times higher than a similar product.*
• Because of its significantly higher suture pullout strength, can be firmly anchored to surrounding tissue with minimal risk of tearing or detachment.*

Supports wound healing

• Biocompatible because it’s meticulously manufactured from highly purified intact porcine collagen and minimally cross-linked for predictable resorption
• Reduced degree of inflammation and foreign body response as compared to other similar products in pre-clinical testing*
• Protects the graft area from unwanted soft tissue infiltration during the initial phase of healing while still allowing for healthy nutrient transfer
• Resorbs predictably over three to four months as new host collagen is simultaneously regenerated
• With a slower initial rate of resorption than other similar products, it provides greater initial stability during the critical early weeks of healing*
• Shown through in vitro and in vivo pre-clinical testing to exceed many of the performance characteristics of other similar products.*
• Available sizes: 15 x 20 mm, 20 x 30 mm, 30 x 40 mm

This new offering — along with other recent additions to the Straumann portfolio — is one of the latest products the company provides customers with for a total solution that yields patient satisfaction and practice success.
