Have you ever wanted to take advantage of a form-stable barrier membrane that allows for better vascularization of the underlying bone graft, as like with collagen membranes?

Titanium-reinforced polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membranes are a well-documented off-the-shelf solution for vertical alveolar ridge augmentation in oral and maxillofacial bone regeneration1. They provide stability through the integrated titanium structure and provide a secluded space for undisturbed bone formation. However, classical PTFE membranes are occlusive membranes that do not allow vascularization from the periosteum. Early vascularization plays a central role in guided bone regeneration as angiogenesis is fundamental to new bone formation2,3,4. The novel Reinforced PTFE Mesh5, RPMTM, is characterized by perforations that allow vascularization from the perioste...
