16 The BioHorizons Camlog collagen membranes are barrier membranes which are used in dental surgery in the areas of bone and soft tissue regeneration. They are used to protect and stabilize the bone substitute material during the primary wound healing phase. The membranes prevent particle migration of the bone graft substitute material and stabilize the blood and its contained bone growth cells to enable the remodeling process of the bone during the healing phase. On the one hand, the structure of the membranes causes the soft tissue cells to migrate along the surface, and on the other, it acts as a guide for the bone cells. This prevents the ingrowth of soft tissue into the defective area and at the same time imparts sufficient stability to the bone substitute materials, which they require during the remodeling process. In addition, the blood vessels orient themselves along the membrane. They promote the healing of hard tissue as well as of soft tissue. Their structure, which is formed during the manufacturing process, allows them to retain their function in the tissue for different lengths of time. Once the healing phase is completed, the collagen membrane is broken down by the body without causing any inflammation. The barrier membranes offered by BioHorizons Camlog are of porcine (pig) or bovine (cattle) or synthetic origin and are produced in strictly controlled processes.
