Summary
25x30mm Cytoflex® Textured Tef-Guard® ePTFE Membrane (1/5Packs)
Cytoflex® textured membrane is a non-resorbable membrane with consistent and reliable tensile strength for guided tissue regeneration. Each membrane is engineered to meet the demands of clinicians seeking better tissue adhesion with a barrier protecting against bacteria.
Textured Cytoflex® is an alternative to Cytoflex® smooth membrane, offering some unique handling and performance characteristics with the same reliability that Cytoflex® is known for.
Dental Implant Technologies is a supplier of Cytoflex® smooth membranes and textured membranes for clinicians in the United States.
Cytoflex® 25x30mm Textured Membrane Key Details
Cytoflex® smooth membranes are popular with clinicians for ease of handling and removal. Cytoflex® textured membranes create a similar non-resorbable barrier with improved adhesion.
- Material: ePTFE
- Texture: Textured surface.
- Dimensions: 25x30mm
- Thickness: 0.25mm
- Non-Resorbable.
- Can’t be left exposed.
Just like Cytoflex® smooth membranes, textured membranes are made from an ePTFE thin film, a proprietary polytetrafluoroethylene material that is biocompatible and non-degradable when used for guided tissue regeneration.
Cytoflex® Smooth Membranes vs. Cytoflex® Textured Membranes
Both Cytoflex® smooth membranes and textured membranes are made from the same material and feature a microporous structure that allows for nutrient passage without bacterial transfer. This can support healing and tissue regeneration to ensure expected clinical results.
The surface of a textured membrane allows for better adhesion to soft tissue. With the easy handling and conforming of Cytoflex® membranes, it’s simple to shape a membrane for a specific restoration. Membranes can be cut to size and are designed for single use in the same procedure. Excess clippings should be discarded.
With better adhesion there is less time spent chairside, allowing for a smoother patient experience and less fatigue for the clinician.
Cytoflex® Textured Membranes Provide Technical Advantages over Cytoplast™ Membranes
Popular Cytoplast™ membranes have seen extensive use in regenerative procedures. Cytoflex® innovates on an established industry concept with a more advanced synthetic material that offers technical benefits.
Cytoflex® textured membranes prevent bacterial passage thanks to a matrix of microscopic pores dispersed across the surface. These pores also prevent the loss of grafting material. The pores are sized to allow for the transfer of nutrients to aid in healing and the speed of regeneration. Cytoplast™ membranes are relatively non-porous in comparison and restrict nutrient passage.
The better adhesive properties, improved nutrient passage, and eliminated bacterial transfer all make Cytoflex® membranes the best alternative solution to Cytoplast™ membranes.
Non-resorbable membranes are necessary for non-primary closure and can be used for primary closure.
Why Choose Non-Resorbable Cytoflex® over Cytoplast™ Membranes?
Because Cytoflex® textured membranes retain their strength throughout the recommended four to five weeks of application, healing is linear and predictable.
Cytoplast™ membranes are available in PTFE units but lack the microporous matrix that Cytoflex® has developed. Clinicians familiar with Cytoplast™ membranes can consider Cytoflex® as a direct alternative when excellent tensile strength is required.
A Simple Transition from Cytoplast™ Membranes
Handling and procedures for placing Cytoflex® are comparable to those for Cytoplast™ membranes. Cytoflex® textured membranes are placed easily thanks to the improved adhesion and pliability of the material. They are removed with a small incision for primary coverage, or by lifting and removing with forceps for non-primary coverage. Cytoflex® membranes are always removed as a single piece with no breakage, limiting any chairside complication.
Cytoplast™ membranes are high-performing and Cytoflex® membranes meet or exceed the standards set. Transitioning to Cytoflex® from Cytoplast™ membranes is easy for any clinician.
