HeliMend^TM Collagen Membrane

The HeliMend and HeliMend Advanced absorbable collagen are made from purified bovine tendon.  The product provides wound stabilization and creates space during guided tissue regeneration procedures where a longer absorbtion rate is desired.  The HeliMend collagen membrane is absorbed in 4 to 8 weeks; while the HeliMend Advanced collagen membrane is absorbed in 18 weeks.  The product is easy to use and has excellent handling characteristics.  The membrane is very pliable and does not become slippery when hydrated, making it easier for clinicians to properly place the membrane over the defect.  Each membrane is supplied sterile and in an easy to open package.
