Buccal tissue matrix Evolution

collagenxenograftabsorbable

Tissue origin : Heterologous mesenchymal tissue Tissue collagen : Preserved Physical form : Dried membrane with one smooth side and one micro-rough side Thickness : X-Fine: 0.2 mm Fine: 0.3 mm Standard: 0.4 mm Estimated resorption : X-Fine: about 2 months Fine: about 3 months Standard: about 4 months Packaging : 20x20 mm, 30x30 mm, 25x35 mm (oval), 40x40 mm, 80x60 mm Characteristics Obtained from heterologous mesenchymal tissue, the Evolution membrane is gradually resorbable(1). Its structure is made of dense collagen fibers of high consistency and of extraordinary resistance that offer the specialist surgeon: •maximum adaptability to bone tissue and soft tissues • easy and secure suturability to nearby tissues • best membrane-bone and membrane-periosteum interface • stability and prolonged protection of the underlying graft • clot stabilization and isolation Handling The membrane can be shaped with sterile scissors until the desired size is reached; unless the grafting site is already bleeding, the membrane should be rehydrated with lukewarm physiological solution. Once it acquires the desired plasticity, it must be adapted to the grafting site. NB: in case of accidental exposure, the dense collagenic matrix of Evolution protects the graft from infection; the membrane itself will also not be infected, allowing second intention healing
