Pericardial
membrane
The true pericardium of equine origin
The perfect balance between nature and biotechnology
Heart® is a biological membrane obtained from authentic equine pericardium, the tissue that naturally surrounds and protects the heart. Thanks to Bioteck’s exclusive enzymatic process, the pericardium is made biocompatible, preserving its natural three-dimensional structure and collagen component. The result is a thin membrane that is extraordinarily resistant to tension and can be easily fixed without compromising its structure using sutures or osteosynthesis devices. There are no differences between the two sides of the membrane, allowing for easy handling during surgical application.
Thanks to its excellent hydrophilicity, Heart® can be used either dry (for imbibition in situ with biological fluids) or after hydration with sterile saline solution, promoting rapid stabilisation and adhesion to tissues. It provides effective protection of the bone graft for a period of 3–4 months, while acting as an ideal substrate for tissue regeneration.

WHEN TO USE
Heart® èis the ideal solution for bone regeneration surgical procedures, usable alone or in combination with graft materials for GBR/GTR.
Perfect for both immediate and two-stage procedures, it is suitable for all types i
of bone defects, even in the most complex cases.
Supports
tissue healing
Thanks to its natural fibre structure, Heart®
optimally supports the proliferation of cells in the tissues with which it comes into contact.
Tensile strength
Thanks to its mechanical properties, Heart® can be sutured and tensioned without risk of breakage.
