Collagen Dental Products

The ColoGide is derived from bovine source. It is a resorbable, non-friable barrier membrane obtained from highly purified type-I collagen derived from specially controlled and certified animals and is highly purified to avoid any antignicity.

Characteristics
The ColoGide is produced to provide an optimized degree of flexibility and rigidity combined with the most predictable resorptive process.

The Product comprises two distinct surface textures on either side of the membrane-a dense surface and a roughened porous surface. The dense top layer is in contact with soft tissue to prevent epithelial down growth and the porous roughened surface is in contact with bone and favors bone ingrowth.

The ColoGide has a definite geometry in vivo stability and mechanical sterngth for use as barrier material. It has longest in vivo stability or resorption time 20-24 weeks, this accounts for the sustained function during the bone repair process.
The colo Gide comes prepacked and sterile and is intended single use only.

Indications :

• Periodontology-Guided tissue regeneratation procedure for infrabony defects.
• Oral implantology-guided bone regeneration procedures for sinus graft procedures, ridge augmentation and peri implant defects.
• Augmentation procedures-horizontal and vertical ridge augmentation or augmentation of the maxillary sinus.
• Surgical root resection, cystectomy and other bone lesion.

Directions for Use :
In all cases standard established sterile surgical procedures must be observed. A full thickness mucoperiosteal flap must be raised to expose the underlying bone defect. The flap should a minimum of 5mm outside the defect on all sides. The defect must be debrided thoroughly of all granulation tissue. After adequate site preparation the bone defect can be filled with a graft material. The sizes of the membrane should be determined using a template material adapting the membrane and cutting it with scissors to ideally extend 2-3 mm beyond the edge of the defect (s). the membrane once wet with blood tends to adapt extremely well to the bone walls. The roughened porous texture should face the bone and the dense smooth surface face the soft tissue. The membrane should be properly immobilized as micro movement can impair the bone ingrowth. Immobilization can be done using suturing or a fixation system. The wound should be primarily closed over without any lesion in the flap.

Contra-Indications : The ColoGide TM should not be used in all contra indications customary to the use of bone grafts that can impair bone or wound healing including acute or chronic bone infection, uncontrolled diabetes, chronic high dose steroid therapy, vacular impairment at the implant site, metabolic bone disease and alcohol are smoking abuse.

Precautions :

• Do not use if blister is open or damaged.
• Do not use the product after expiry date printed on package lable.
• The package is for single use only, it cannot be resterilized.

Product Sizes :

Colocast is a Demineralized bone matrix of type-1 Collagen which is biocompatible and bioresorbable, widely used for treating bone defects in dentistry, orthopedic and other surgical procedures. High purity type I collagen derived from bone is essential for tissue regeneration and remodeling in any osseous defect. Colocast has been subjected to a bioassay of bone growth factors present in demineralised cortical bone and is prepared from bovine cortical bone samples resulting in non immunogenic flowable particles of approximately 200-700 micron size.

Product Advantages :

• Easily Moldable and capable of attracting appropriate tissue regenerative cells.
• Fully Resorbable matrix augumenting bone growth and promoting the formation of native bone.
• Osteonductive & osteoconductive for better bioactivity.
• Safe and effective.

Product Applications :

• Ridge and sinus augmentation
• Bone augmentation around implants
• Periodontal Regeneration
• Oral Surgery
• Other Orthopaedic Application.

Application Method : Open the package in a clean sterile environment. Open the vial containing the material and mix it with few drops of sterile normal saline solution or autologuous blood to make into a paste like consistency. This can be used for bone void filling.

Precaustions :

• Like any other surgical procedure, care to be taken to monitor the health condition and the medication like steroid or anti coagulants taken by the patient which might affect the surgical procedure.
• Colocast should not be resterilised or re-used..Once the package is opened, it is advised that the unused portions of the colocast be discarded.

Contraindications :

• Colocast is contraindicated for highly sensitive partients for bone graft materials.
• Colocast is contraindicated in infectious cancerous areas, unless it is addressed properly.
• Colocast is contraindicated in clinical situations where any bone filling surgery should not be performed due to other pathological conditions.

Post Operative Care : Colocast is totally resorbable and should not be removed unless any other complications arises due to infection or other reasons. For periodontal packing application, colocast may be applied to the woundsite and proper care mutst be taken not to over compress the area. Patients should rinse with an appropriate antimicrobial agent of clinician's choice, twice daily for 2 weeks. The patients should avoid :

• Brushing the treated area for 2 weeks from the surgery date.
• Flossing for 4 weeks from the surgery date
• It is recommended to brush the area only with soft brush after 2-3 weeks following the surgery.
• Probing and sub-gingivial scaling should be avoided till completion of 8 weeks to prevent possible damage to the immature regenerating tissue underneath.

Details :

• Colo Plug is a soft resorbable collagen Matrices engineered from highly purified type-1 collagen derived from bovine source.
• The Material is easily cut with scissors or scalpel to meet the needs of the surgeon. Coloplug is Non-pyrogenic and is provided sterile for single use only.
• After extraction blood normally clots in the socket and from a protective barrier for bone and nerve ends. In some cases this can be washed away and leave the vital areas exposed for food, liquid and other foreign matter in the oral cavity.
• This can lead to infection and severe pains for 5-6 days. The patient also have very bad breath.
• Uusing coloplug in the extraction site directly at the extraction time can radically minimise the risk of dry socket since this forms a protective lid during the so important healing period.

Features of coloplug :

• Can be easily trimmed during surgery for a custom fit.
• Can be wetted with saline or blood from the local site.
• Resorbs as connective tissue grows into and through the collagen.
• Provide containment of graft material in its intended position.

Application areas :

• Extraction sites.
• 4-wall sockets.
• Biopsy sites.
• Oral hemostatic applications.

Advantages :

• The pore size of the plug allow to absorb fluid and blood at the defect site.
• Due to collagen fibers coloplug have intrinsic hemostatic properties for the control of bleedling.
• It also protects the wound bed and accelerates the healing process.
• Absorbed in 10 to 12 days.
• Provides matrix for tissue in growth.

Sizes : 8 x 20 mm, 12x20mm
