Sun, 11/15/2009 - 14:23 — Dr Chace Heatly

I am curious to know what people are using in the practic and why for a barrier membrane? Resorb vs Non Resorb vs No membrane at all? What specific membrane are you using and why and how do your choose?

Biomend, Ossix, Bioguide, Guidor all work great

Ill take a Resorbable barrie any day of the week.

Collagen membranes all the way

I would never use gortex. They expose, I use collagen only.

Barrier membrane: Resorb vs Non Resorb

I always use a collagen resorbable membrane. There are several I like, results are consistent and less complications to the patient.

Barrier Membrane: Depends on what I am doing it for

The answer to your question really depends. If I am doing GTR I like something like gortex, guidor or bioguide.

If I am doing GBR then I like Titanium re gortex or ossix.

So I guess I like both Brooke

Barrier membrane Prefence: Resorb vs Non Resorb

I always use a membrane. I tend to favor collagen membranes like biomend extend and ossix. Lately I have been using pericardium membranes from zimmer and like the healing.
