OpenTex® Non-Resorbable PTFE Membrane is a pure medical-grade polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) sheet with inert biological features and predictable barrier effect. Due to the smooth surface and small pore size, OpenTex® PTFE Membrane resists the incorporation of bacteria into its structure and eases the removal of the membrane.
Non-resorbable membrane is sustainable for surgical procedure with no primary closure. OpenTex® Membrane is ideal for space-making feature providing enough space for host cells to adhere to grafting materials. OpenTex® is supplied sterile for single use only and available in various sizes.
Non-Resorbable PTFE membrane
High pliability (PTFE)
• Simultaneous use of GBR membrane and implants.
• Augmentation around implant placed in immediate extraction sites or delayed extraction sockets.
GTR (Guided Tissue Regeneration)
• Filling of bone defects after root resection, removal of cysts, and removal of retained teeth.
1st is considered the gold standard in barrier membranes.
d-PTFE membrane
With its microporosity, OpenTex is considered
to be a novel barrier membrane. It is especially suitable for bone regeneration and soft tissue management of an extraction socket after immediate implant placement.

OpenTex® Main Features
Non-Resorbable
• 100% medical grade PTFE membrane.
• Biologically inert and chemically non-reactive.
• Healing procedure is not interfered with membrane absorption.
Microporous
• Promote the gingival tissue attachment.
• Enhances ease in the interstitial fluid circulation.
• Resist the bacteria infection and fibroblast cells migration.
Minimally Invsaive
• Rapid recovery of soft tissue.
• Primary Closure is not necessary.
• Virtually impervious to bacteria.
• Minimum flap reflection or dissection. Safe from bacteria infection, even in the event of the exposure.
Withstands Exposure
• Protect the tissue regeneration site.
• Regenerated underlying tissue can be evaluated.
• Provide a proper environment for the growth of blood vessel and osteogenic cells.
OpenTex® Characteristics
Impervious to Bacteria
Most of Oral Bacteria is larger than 1um. OpenTex® is micro-porous material that has the pore size small enough to prevent bacterial infiltration.
Biocompatible, OpenTex® facilitates cell adhesion on the surfaces.
Test performed shows that the surface of OpenTex® is not toxic causing cells to adhere well on the surface.
- Non-resorbable PTFE Membrane offers enough healing time to bone regenerative process.
- Periodontal surgery
- PTFE Membrane withstands to exposure since it is impervious to bacteria due to their barrier function.
Indications
- Management of contained extraction socket
- Management of non-contained extraction scoket
- Simultaneous augmentation
- Staged augmentation
- Sinus floor augmentation
- Periodontal defects
- Peri-implantitis
- Immediate implant
- Soft tissue volume
