InterCollagen^® Guide is a porcine-derived resorbable collagen membrane intended for periodontal and/or dental surgeries. When used in conjunction with a graft material for a guided bone regeneration procedure, the membrane acts as a barrier that restricts the entry of rapidly proliferating non-osteogenic cells within the bony defect while allowing the ingrowth of slow-growing bone-forming cells. This resorbable barrier gets remodeled and/or incorporated by the host tissue. InterCollagen^® Guide’s dense fibrous architecture enhances mechanical strength and increases durability, and yet it is easily sutured, highly drapable, and can be trimmed to the required size.  

Indications for Use

InterCollagen^® Guide can be used in guided bone regeneration (GBR) and guided tissue regeneration (GTR) procedures as a biodegradable barrier for:

• Periodontal bone defects (1-3 wall defects) and furcation defects (class I and II)
• After apicectomy, cystectomy, resection of retained teeth, and resection of other bone lesions
• Sinus floor augmentation and support of the Schneiderian membrane
• Maxillary ridge augmentation
• Maxillary ridge reconstruction for prosthetic treatment
• Extraction sockets after tooth extractions
• Immediate or delayed augmentation around implants in extraction sockets
• Surgical bone defects and bone wall defects
• Dehiscence and fenestration defects

Studies

InterCollagen^® is a resorbable cross-linked membrane that promotes rapid healing. It exhibits excellent drapability, long-term stability and is easily suturable. InterCollagen^® Guide is validated and documented in case of studies through clinicians involving procedures such as horizontal/vertical augmentation, sinus augmentation, and sinus elevation.
