Zenoss Bio Dental Surgical Resorbable Collagen Barrier Membrane

DSI Zenoss Membrane offers a cell-occlusive, stabilizing matrix that promotes healing by harnessing the body’s natural tendency to regrow vascular connective tissue. An easy-to-use, cohesive, and quick-rehydrating collagen membrane that protects the healing environment over a slow absorption that lasts between 3-4 months. DSI Zenoss Membrane is flexible, sterile, and easy to use. The material does not tear off; it is flexible and nonslippery when wet. It does not contain antigenic factors and does not cause an immune reaction. DSI Zenoss Membrane is made from highly purified type I bovine tendon collagen and is 100% sterile. DSI Zenoss Membrane covers the bone area with a dense film and prevents cell and soft tissue migration.

DSI Zenoss Membrane is a unique combination of biocompatibility, extended barrier function, membrane integrity, handling options, and complete resorbability. It preserves the barrier function in tissue regeneration and features the desired properties of an effective barrier membrane for GBR and GTR procedures of all kinds.

DSI Zenoss Membrane is a type I collagen containing no additional cross-linking agents. The membrane is highly biocompatible, preventing proliferation and migration of the epithelium, and creating optimal conditions for guided bone regeneration. The special structure of the collagen can safely close the bone defect and it is completely resorbed without fibrous degeneration. Thanks to a longer degradation time of 3-4 months it can fit the healing time required in most GBR procedures. It is resistant to a substantial variety of bacteria and it helps to keep the wound sterile, because of its natural ability to fight infection.‍

Indications:

• Implantation of defects in the bone tissue
• Restoration of congenital and acquired defects of bone and soft tissues
• Sinus-lifting
• Cystectomy Periodontitis (minimally invasive methods of treatment and reconstructive surgery
• Resection of the root apex
• Filling of defects after the removal of cysts
• Closure of perforations of the maxillary sinus
• Closure of perforation of the lower-jaw canal removal of the tooth

Features:

• Excellent biocompatibility
• Low antigenicity
• Easy to handle
• Predictable resorption time
• Stabilization of the blood clot
• High mechanical strength
• Space maintenance
• Strong, reliable barrier

How to use:

1. Zenoss BIO+ is trimmed to the desired size by using scissors.
2. The membrane should overlap the walls of the defect by at least 2-3 mm, in order to achieve complete coverage of the bone and thus prevent a lateral ingrowth of gingival tissue.
3. The defect cavity is then filled loosely with bone substitute material such as Zenoss bone graft.
4. Zenoss BIO+ is applied over the defect with its smooth side uppermost and held in place with moderate pressure. The saturation of the membrane with blood and exudate permits perfect adaptation to the bone surface. Additional stabilization by means of pins may be indicated for complex defects.
5. The flaps are closely sutured over the membrane and should be free of tension (e.g., using single sutures, or mattress sutures). The wound should, whenever possible, be completely closed.
6. During the healing phase stress in the wound area from prosthetic pressure or palpation should be avoided. Intensive mechanical oral hygiene should be replaced by antibacterial rinsing (e.g., with chlorhexidine) for the first 3 weeks. Antibiotic therapy is prescribed at the discretion of the clinician.
