Zimmer CurV: redefining ridge augmentation

Zimmer Dental, a leading provider of dental oral rehabilitation products and a subsidiary of Zimmer Holdings, is pleased to announce the availability of the Zimmer CurV™ pre-shaped collagen membrane — stemming from an exclusive distribution agreement with Osseous Technologies of America (OTA).

Developed to provide focused bone augmentation, allowing for vertical bone growth, the biocompatible membrane is intended to create an oral environment more suitable for implant placement.

Composed of type 1 collagen derived from bovine Achilles tendon, the Zimmer CurV membrane is a unique and convenient solution for retaining grafting material during the bone remodeling process.

Pre-shaped for custom molding to the posterior or anterior defect site, the collagen membrane can effectively house Puros® Particulate Allograft or other grafting material with minimal migration (when affixed with tacks or screws).

Unlike traditional, more cumbersome methods, the Zimmer CurV membrane does not require additional structural support such as tenting screws or titanium mesh to hold its form once it is placed in a patient; and because it is made from resorbable collagen, removal is unnecessary.

For decades, Zimmer Dental has gained the trust of thousands of clinicians worldwide who count on its comprehensive line of products to deliver successful patient outcomes and the best value in the industry.

This latest agreement with OTA further reinforces Zimmer Dental’s industry-leading family of regenerative products.
