Dr. Paul Worskett - Introducing creos™ xeno.protect from Nobel Biocare – the natural barrier

Nobel Biocare long history of innovation continues with the launch of yet another new product...

creos™ xeno.protect is a biodegradable non-crosslinked collagen membrane designed for use in guided bone and guided tissue regeneration procedures. With excellent handling properties, extended barrier function and high tensile strength, creos xeno.protect produces reliable clinical results, time and time again.

Experience the difference

Dr. Paul Worskett from Amblecote Dental Care, West Midlands, has experienced the benefits of creos xeno.protect first hand. He says:

"I recently used the creos membrane for the first time. My case was the placement of two NobelReplace^® tapered fixtures in the upper anterior region. Due to a shortage of bone buccally, and for aesthetic reasons, I augmented the area, a standard GBR technique using creos as the covering membrane.

“This was the first time with this product and I have to say it was very easy to use. It has an almost paper thin consistency which means it is easy to cut, shape and manipulate. Placement and handling was a lot easier than some membranes I have used in the past and complete flap closure was possible without relieving the periosteum. This was, I am sure, appreciated by the patient in terms of reduced swelling and discomfort postoperatively. At suture removal follow up a week later, I found the tissues to be in excellent condition and the patient was very happy. I will certainly use this product again and look forward to further success in the future."

In keeping with all Nobel Biocare products, creos xeno.protect is manufactured to the highest standards, with a strictly controlled and standardised manufacturing process. The following benefits of creos xeno.protect will help build clinician confidence:

Unique handling

creos xeno.protect is extremely easy to use because it has a minimal increase in size when hydrated and is easy to unfold and reposition, for a predictable placement.  Importantly, creos xeno.protect does not cause any confusion in a clinical setting as it has no functionally preferred side. This means the product can be placed with either surface facing the defect, with the same excellent results.

Easy to fix and suture

Thanks to the dense network of interwoven fibres, creos xeno.protect is a naturally strong and tear resistant material that exhibits high mechanical strength to prevent the migration of bone graft material. This high mechanical strength makes it easy to fix and suture.

Extended barrier function

For resorbable collagen membranes, efficient biodegradation is crucial for treatment success and final outcome. Nobel Biocare’s creos xeno.protect has been designed specifically to provide high stability over a prolonged degradation period. This, combined with 100% tissue compatibility, and the pure, non-crosslinked nature of creos xeno.protect make it the ideal choice for bone and tissue regeneration procedures. Furthermore the product also demonstrates excellent revascularisation behaviour, with fast and predictable healing for optimal clinical outcomes.

The natural choice

Designed to be the natural choice for guided tissue and guided bone regeneration procedures, creos xeno.protect is composed of highly purified porcine collagen fibres inter-mingled with elastin fibres to form a strong and tear resistant network. This fibrous network creates a favourable environment for bone regeneration at the defect site by preventing the migration of undesired cells from the surrounding soft tissue, and allowing the in-growth of osteogenic cells.
