- Tightly adapts over placed bone graft and proximal bony walls
- Does not need to be secured into place with sutures or tacks
Handling
Due to its unique biological and physical properties, BioXclude can be folded onto itself, placed over exposed roots or implants, minimizing the need for precise trimming. Placed dry, as it comes in contact with the surrounding fluids, BioXclude will tightly conform to the surface of the surgical site. BioXclude does not have to be secured into place with sutures. Primary closure should be attempted but is not required. For additional information, please refer to the BioXclude Handling Instructions.
