Zimmer CurV Redefines Ridge Augmentation
Zimmer Dental Inc., a leading provider of dental oral rehabilitation products and
a subsidiary of Zimmer Holdings, Inc., is pleased to announce the availability of
the Zimmer CurVTM Pre-shaped Collagen Membrane—stemming from
an exclusive distribution agreement with Osseous Technologies of America (OTA).
Developed to provide focused bone augmentation, allowing for vertical bone growth,
the biocompatible membrane is intended to create an oral environment more suitable
for implant placement.
Composed of type 1 collagen derived from bovine Achilles tendon, the Zimmer
CurV membrane is a unique and convenient solution for retaining grafting material
during the bone remodeling process. Pre-shaped for custom molding to the posterior
or anterior defect site, the collagen membrane can effectively house Puros®
Particulate Allograft or other grafting material with minimal migration (when affixed
with tacks or screws).
Unlike traditional, more cumbersome methods, the Zimmer CurV membrane does
not require additional structural support such as tenting screws or titanium mesh
to hold its form once it is placed in a patient; and because it is made from resorbable
collagen, removal is unnecessary.
For decades, Zimmer Dental has gained the trust of thousands of clinicians worldwide
who count on its comprehensive line of products to deliver successful patient outcomes
and the best value in the industry. This latest agreement with OTA further reinforces
Zimmer Dental’s industry-leading family of regenerative products.
