Cytoplast TXT-200 Non-Resorbable High-Density PTFE Membrane 12 mm x 24 mm (10/pkg)

Description:

Cytoplast TXT-200 Non-Resorbable High-Density PTFE Membrane in the 12x24mm configuration is designed for dental extraction-site grafting and augmentation procedures where exposure to the oral cavity may be possible. The membrane is made from high-density PTFE, also known as d-PTFE, and is supplied as 10 membranes per package in this configuration. Unlike a resorbable collagen membrane, TXT-200 is non-resorbable and is designed to remain in place until it is removed according to the applicable clinical protocol. The manufacturer describes the membrane as having a microtextured surface intended to provide increased surface area for soft tissue attachment compared with a smooth dense PTFE surface.

At the same time, its nanoscale porosity is designed to resist bacterial invasion. The reported porosity is less than 0.3 microns, creating a dense barrier characteristic intended to limit bacterial penetration. The membrane is designed for situations in which exposure to the oral cavity may occur, making its barrier properties an important part of its intended application. The 12x24mm size provides a compact membrane configuration for appropriate treatment sites and can be selected based on the dimensions of the surgical area and desired coverage. The manufacturer also identifies the possibility of non-surgical removal when the membrane is intentionally left exposed, subject to the applicable clinical situation and instructions for use.

Dental professionals should determine whether a non-resorbable PTFE membrane is appropriate for a particular procedure based on patient-specific requirements, surgical technique, and manufacturer guidance. Proper membrane positioning, adaptation, stabilization, and post-operative management are important considerations. The product should be handled according to sterile procedures and official instructions for use. Dental teams should distinguish TXT-200 from Cytoplast RTM Collagen membranes because the products differ in material, resorbability, dimensions, and clinical handling considerations. The product should only be used by qualified professionals for its labeled indications. Clinicians should review all current manufacturer documentation, including indications, contraindications, warnings, precautions, and removal guidance, before use.
