Supertack

LINE

“Function generates form”

During the design stages of this innovative product, our aim was to create a fastening tack that could easily be used in any type of bone and able to firmly fix the membranes currently used in GBR (both re-absorbable and non-re-absorbable) and grids. The blue coloring studied and selected for quick visible identification in the removal stages of the GBR procedures.

The Supertack tack is characterized by a head 2.5 mm in diameter, a common size for this type of device. The tack stem has a conical shape designed for a quick removal and no or minimal tissue damage. The choice of the specific blue coloring facilitates its detection under soft tissues at the time of removal.

Supertack tacks are packaged in the “white room” (dedicated clean room) after a “plasma” cleaning of the surfaces. They are sold in the sterile and sealed package.
