Use of Ossiflex™ Bone Membrane

Please log in to order

Ossiflex™ Bone Membranes from Veterinary Transplant Services (VTS) are thin, flexible sheets made of natural demineraliSed cortical bone. These are thicker than the other membranes and, being made of cortical bone, provide a natural surface compatible with bony integration as well as epithelialiSation.

Guided Tissue Regeneration. Placing a membrane between the bone graft and soft tissue avoids premature soft tissue in-growth. 1-6

Oronasal Fistulas. While thin and flexible, Ossiflex™ Bone Membranes are strong enough to keep food particles from traveling through oronasal defects.

Cleft Palates and Cranio-Facial Defects. Ossiflex™ Bone Membranes are also ideal for treating cranio-maxillo-facial defects. For example, they can be used to support mucoperiosteal advancement flaps for closure of palatal defects.

Fracture Bridging. Ossiflex™ Bone Membranes can be wrapped around mandibular fractures to support healing.

Mandibular Canal Protection. Ossiflex™ Bone Membranes can be placed over open mandibular canals to keep growing tissue from impinging on the nerve.
