Xenograft bone substitute LS03SS

for maxillofacial surgeryrigid

Tissue origin : Heterologous cortical bone Tissue collagen : Preserved Physical form : Rigid dried lamina, flexible after re-hydration Composition : 100% cortical bone Thickness : Standard: 3 mm (±1 mm) Medium Curved : 1.0 mm (±0.1 mm) Packaging : 30x30 mm, 35x35 mm Characteristics Soft Lamina is made of cortical bone of heterologous origin which undergoes a process of superficial decalcification, nevertheless maintaining the typical consistency of the bone tissue from which it originates. After hydration Lamina becomes flexible and can be adapted to the defect morphology creating, once fixated with osteosynthesis screws, a semi-rigid covering to the underlying graft1. This property is particularly useful when it is necessary to obtain a space making effect in esthetic areas2, as well as in horizontal augmentation3 of two wall defects. Handling Cortical Lamina can be shaped with sterile scissors until the desired size is reached, then it must be hydrated for 3/5 minutes in sterile physiological solution. Once it acquires the desired plasticity, it must be adapted to the grafting site; it should always be immobilized with titanium microscrews. Clinical information Horizontal augmentation of knife edge crests, in combination with OsteoBiol® mp3®. Even though xenogenic bone graft provide structural support to the bony defect, these biomaterials are not indicated for use in load bearing situations, unless used in combination with appropriate osteosynthesis fixation.
