Additional Information for Cytoflex Tefguard PTFE Membrane: Textured
Cytoflex Textured Tefguard is a non-resorbable PTFE membrane made of a proprietary micro-porous expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) material, that is ideal for socket preservations and bone grafting procedures. The textured version of Cytoflex Tefguard has superficial macro texture overlapping the micro pore texture on both surfaces, providing additional grips for flap attachment.
The micro-pores on the MP-ePTFE membranes are miniscule enough to block bacterial penetration keeping the site safe from infection, but the micro-porous material still allows nutrient permeation across the membrane enhancing healing. As such the MP-ePTFE membranes, like the d-PTFE, do not require primary closure. Furthermore, the texture of these materials enhances soft tissue attachment which prevents early flap sloughing and exposure. The textured Cytoflex Tefguard also has superficial macro texture overlapping the micro pore texture on both surfaces, providing additional grips for flap attachment, and easier suture closure.
In sum, the microporous PTFE membrane, Cytoflex Tefguard, provides all the benefits of dPTFE membranes, while also providing better handling and healing properties. As such, it offer the best current option for clinical cases that require a non-resorbable membrane.
