Derma

Derma

A xenogenic dermal matrix for soft tissue augmentation

The product

Derma membranes are gradually integrated¹ with the autologous soft tissues thanks to the presence of natural collagen fibres².
 

Their resistance allows perfect stabilization and prolonged protection of the underlying graft³ in socket regeneration procedures. Derma strong consistency guides soft tissue regeneration and avoids its invagination. Being an alternative to CTG, Derma has been used to augment soft tissues and to improve the quality of keratinized tissues⁴ around teeth, and implants⁵ or to treat mild gingival recessions⁶⁻⁷.

Derma is ready to use and can be used to treat mild gingival recession or increase the thickness of soft tissues.

Why choosing Derma?

Connective Tissue Graft (CTG) is considered the gold standard for bone regeneration; however, autologous soft tissue is available in limited quantities and causes post-op discomfort to patients. Derma is a valid alternative to CTG for soft tissue augmentation around teeth and implants⁸ and for the treatment of gingival recessions⁴⁻⁷. Natural dense collagen fibres make Derma a resistant membrane also for sealing the socket and stabilising the graft in alveolar regeneration procedures³’⁹ where it can be left exposed without any risk of infection³’⁹.

How to handle Derma

Derma can be shaped with scissors and must be hydrated in a sterile physiological solution until the desired shape and consistency are obtained.
