Sinus Lift Balloon

September 7, 2009

The Zimmer Sinus Lift Balloon was created to simplify the delicate sinus lift procedure. It offers a convenient option for clinicians and aids in creating a more positive patient experience.

The minimally invasive Zimmer Sinus Lift Balloon allows for improved vertical sinus elevation results and gives clinicians added security when performing a traditional sinus lift procedure — protecting the Schneiderian membrane from tearing, which can significantly disrupt an implant case. The balloon instrument is also well-suited for effectively measuring the required bone grafting material. For example, 1cc of saline, which is used to inflate the balloon, is equal to 1cc of grafting material.

The Zimmer Sinus Lift Balloon is available in three convenient, single-use configurations for optimum efficiency and ease-of-use. The angled design is ideal for lateral window procedures, the straight model is well suited for a crestal approach, and the popular micro-mini design can be used for either of these indications.

The Sinus Lift Balloon is the first in a series of “sinus lift solution” products stemming from an exclusive distribution agreement with Osseous Technologies of America (OTA).

MIS 4Bone Synthetic Bone Substitute

September 7, 2009

4BONE is a fully synthetic bone substitute made of synthesized HA & BTCP (60% / 40% ratio) an interconnected micro, and 70% macroporosity promotes the invasion of steogenic cells by osteoconduction and allows biological fluid diffusion.

The MIS 4Bone:

* Provides a fully synthetic bone substitute containing optimized morphology and resorption properties that achieve predictable treatment outcomes.

* Offers the practitioner flexibility in a large range of oral regeneration procedures.

* Contains unique packaging (syringe) with excellent wetting properties, and therefore allows a simple approach for handling the product.

Key Benefits:

Clinical Support
100% bone substitution, boasts the greatest clinical and fundamental literature review (500 publications) of 20 years of human and animal use of micro and macroporous biphasic calcium phosphate materials (4BONE.)

Safety
100% Synthetic. No human or animal orgin, 20 years of clinical studies have demonstrated efficiency, biocompatibility and safety of 4BONE bioceramic.

Efficiency
Bioactive, 4BONE allows cell attachment, proliferation and cell invasion.

Architectural Bone Remodeling
Specific microstructure and macrostructure represent a dynamic process, including physico-chemical processes, crystal/protein interactions, cell and tissue colonization and bone remodelling.

Easy
Easy to handle. The unique packing of 4BONE in a syringe, offers the clinician an easy procedure of mixing the substance with the patient’s blood and/r saline water. After the blood and/or saline water is fully absorbed in the 4BONE, placing the substance in the patient’s mouth is simple to perform with the syringe.
