Membrane Fixation System
Guided bone regeneration (GBR) is based on the combined use of a bone substitute and a barrier membrane, which has the dual purpose of:
- Isolating and protecting the hard tissue avoiding the infiltration of fibroblasts at the site to be regenerated
- Stabilizing the graft material to allow clot stabilization and optimal formation of new bone
For proper healing it is essential to avoid movement of the biomaterials1-2. Fixation of the membrane using a mechanical system can be a suitable option to help achieve stability and improve long term outcomes3.
Key Benefits:
- No pre-drilling of the site required
- Can be used in very compact bone
- Tack shape designed for easy removal
- Blue tack coloring facilitates detection under soft tissues
The Precision Tack System is composed of titanium tacks and a set of instruments that allow quick, optimal application and simple fixation of the membrane.
Insert the tacks into the organizer with cotton pliers (recommended) after proper sterilization procedure is followed.
Remove the tacks with the appropriate placement instrument by pressing down on the tack head.
Insert the tack into place and fix the membrane with the mallet.
To disengage the tack from the placement instrument, tilt it slightly to one side.
To remove the tack, a small incision above the site where it was implanted, is sufficient.
