3 Inion’s Biomaterial Advantage
The need for removal surgery is eliminated by using Inion
GTR-membranes. Biodegradable materials are safe and
synthetic, without any of the potential problems associated
with collagen membranes. The polymers used in the Inion
membranes and tacks degrade in vivo by hydrolysis into alpha-

5. Angle the tack applicator slightly to one side to release it
from the tack.
3. Let the membrane dry for 5-10 minutes. Then rinse the
membrane shortly with sterile water. Now the membrane is
ready for immediate use.
4. Trim the membrane to the desired shape using sterile
surgical scissors. The templates are provided as an aid to
shaping. Discard the templates after use. When exposed to
moisture, as in the oral cavity, the membrane starts to stiffen
and will reach maximum stiffness after 30 minutes. The
stiffness lasts as long as the membrane remains intact.
