Tensile Properties of Three Selected Collagen Membranes.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Biological barriers are commonly used to treat alveolar bone defects and guide tissue regeneration. Understanding the biological and mechanical properties of the available membranes is crucial for selecting the one that is optimal for enhancing clinical outcomes.

Purpose

To evaluate the mechanical behavior of three different collagen membranes to increasing tensile force in dry and wet conditions.

Materials and methods

Three commercially collagen membranes were selected for analysis: Bio-Gide® (Geistlich Biomaterials, Baden-Baden, Germany), Remaix™ (RX; Matricel GmbH, Herzogenrath, Germany), and Ossix Plus® (Datum Dental Biotech, Lod, Israel). Increasing tensile forces were applied on 10 dry and wet membranes of standard size via a loading machine. Force an
