Zimmer Dental, a provider of dental oral rehabilitation products and a subsidiary of Zimmer Holdings, has announced availability of Zimmer Collagen Capsules and the shape-retaining Zimmer Collagen Wedge.Both products stem from an exclusive distribution agreement with Osseous Technologies of America. These multi-faceted regenerative products offer clinicians versatility and ease-of-use during a sinus lift procedure, socket repair, and other wound-healing applications. The hollow, three-dimensional Zimmer Collagen Capsules (3.0 cc, 1.5 cc, and 0.6 cc) support focused bone augmentation, and can be used in crestal and lateral sinus lift procedures. These capsules, which can be positioned with the Zimmer Sinus Lift Balloon or other delivery instruments, are intended for repairing tears to the Schneiderian membrane, and tp 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. It is also suitable for oral wound-healing applications. The 23x38-mm wedge’s thicker, reinforced edge allows for attachment to the lateral wall with tacks.
