TIXXU Control
resorbable synthetic dental membrane
Key Features - their benefits
- Free of animal components: Reduces the risk of disease transmission; avoids religious/cultural issues
- High biocompatibility: The PLGA is 100% bioresorbable
- Safe: The PLGA has been used in medical applications for decades
- Simple application
- Supports secondary healing on exposure and wound dehiscence
- Long resorption time of 6 months gives the bone sufficient time for undisturbed growth

Functionality of a membrane
Coverage of bone defects
- Stabilisation of bone augmentation materials or bone chips
- Barrier function against the ingrowth of connective tissue as well as migration of the bone substitute material
- Therefore the bone has time for the reconstruction of the augmentation
- Blood vessels only grow from the bone out into the augmentation
- 1. High cell compatibility and porosity for the attachment of fibroblasts and osteoblasts – important for the regeneration of hard and soft tissue
- 2. Membrane ensures dimensional stability of the augmentation – preven- ting a collapse
- 3.Transmembrane angiogenesis begins, favoured by high porosity of TIXXU CONTROL
Clinical case
by Dr. Alain Hoornaert, France
Wound closure after augmentation and coverage with TIXXU CONTROL membrane
Shortly after the procedure: Suture dehiscence – membrane becomes visible
Within 2 weeks, the membrane is covered by newly formed gingiva
No inflammatory reactions detectable – keratinised tissue
