DynaMatrix® Extracellular Membrane

DynaMatrix is a barrier membrane for use in guided bone and guided tissue
regeneration procedures.

As the only intact extracellular membrane (ECM) designed to remodel soft tissue, DynaMatrix integrates the three essential biological components required for natural healing:

  1. A matrix scaffold that retains its three-dimensional structure to facilitate soft tissue regeneration.1
  2. Signaling proteins, within the membrane, that communicate with the body to help stimulate the natural healing process.2
  3. Once implanted, these components facilitate the recruitment of the body’s own cells, in effect allowing the body to restore itself.

Unlike collagen membranes, which are broken down and eliminated by the body, DynaMatrix completely remodels into strong, fully vascularized tissue.3 Once the healing process is complete, DynaMatrix is undetectable and becomes an indistinguishable component of the patient’s natural gingival tissue.4

Excellent Handling & Ease of Use

Because it is an intact extracellular matrix, DynaMatrix may be left exposed in the surgical site. This also allows for rapid vascularization. DynaMatrix is pliable enough to drape easily and flexible enough to be cut, rolled, folded, tacked or sutured.

Natural Healing Jumpstart

The active proteins and molecules—including growth factors, glycoproteins and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs)—found within DynaMatrix communicate with the body by signaling surrounding tissue to grow across the scaffold. These active proteins also support the natural healing process by attracting cells and nutrients to the wounded area.

Accepted Like Native Tissue

DynaMatrix does not initiate a strong inflammatory response like other foreign materials. Histology shows that the tissue generated by DynaMatrix is similar to tissue generated by autogenous graft, with mature connective tissue (CT) covered by keratinized epithelium (KE).4

Dependable Strength

Unlike reconstituted materials, DynaMatrix starts strong and becomes stronger and more tear-resistant when hydrated. The same SIS technology is used in applications where high tensile strength is required, such as hernia repair.
