Zimmer Dental Launches Versatile Collagen Capsules and Wedge
 Zimmer Dental
Inc., a leading provider of dental oral rehabilitation products and a subsidiary
of Zimmer Holdings, Inc., is pleased to announce the availability of Zimmer®
Collagen Capsules, which represent the industry’s first ever bone-shaping membranes,
and the shape-retaining Zimmer® Collagen Wedge — both of
which stem from an exclusive distribution agreement with Osseous Technologies of
America (OTA). Together, these multi-faceted regenerative products offer clinicians
the versatility and ease-of-use necessary to meet their patients’ needs during a
sinus lift procedure, socket repair, and other wound healing applications.
The hollow, three-dimensional Zimmer Collagen Capsules (3.0cc, 1.5cc, and
0.6cc) support focused bone augmentation, and can be used in both crestal and lateral
sinus lift procedures. These unique capsules, which can be positioned with the Zimmer®
Sinus Lift Balloon or other delivery instruments, are well-suited for repairing
tears to the Schneiderian membrane, and efficiently retain grafting material during
socket preservation and repair procedures.
The pliable Zimmer Collagen Wedge, which holds its shape and can be trimmed
for a custom fit, can be used for bone defects and ridge augmentation procedures,
and is also suitable for oral wound healing applications. The 23x38mm wedge’s thicker,
reinforced edge allows for attachment to the lateral wall with tacks.
For decades, Zimmer Dental has gained the trust of thousands of clinicians worldwide
who count on its comprehensive line of scientifically-proven products to deliver
successful patient outcomes and the best value in the industry. Zimmer Dental’s
agreement with Osseous Technologies of America (OTA) to be the exclusive distributor
of these products further reinforces our industry-leading family of regenerative
offerings.
