Zimmer Socket Repair Membrane Makes Top Products List of 2007
The Zimmer® Socket Repair Membrane, launched in May 2007 as an extension
of Zimmer Dental’s popular regenerative product line, has been named one of Dentistry
Today’s Top 100 Products of 2007. Dentistry Today, a publication
geared toward the general dentist community, has a circulation of approximately
150,000.
The Zimmer Socket Repair Membrane is designed to assist wound healing in
alveolar facial plate repair and residual ridge preservation following atraumatic,
flapless single-root tooth extractions. Offering a time-saving product and a simple,
proven technique, the Membrane delivers confidence into the hands of clinicians.
Initially launched in the United States, the product is now available in Canada
and throughout Latin America, and will be launched in Europe later in the year.
Well-suited for the general practitioner and specialist alike, the
Zimmer Socket Repair Membrane
is made of Type I Collagen, which is among the most important stress-carrying protein
structures in the body. The pre-cut shape of the membrane fits the majority of single
root sockets without the need for trimming, thereby saving the clinician time and
limiting waste.
The procedure for the Zimmer Socket Repair Membrane utilizes a flapless,
six-step technique, leaving the soft tissue intact and preserving its natural architecture
and vascularity. These qualities are important for esthetics and healing, and help
to maximize patient comfort after tooth extraction.
