Titanium silk

TITANIUM SILK – A REVOLUTIONARY TECHNOLOGY IN IMPLANTATION AND BONE PLASTIC titanium silk is an elastic mesh of various sizes and shapes made of monofilament titanium thread. A special type of knitting maintains a stable elastic and porous structure. Titanium silk mesh is intended for reconstructive surgery of bone tissue, incl. operations for directed tissue regeneration (NRT) of the periodontal and alveolar bone. The thread is tied into an elastic mesh, the peculiarity of which is to preserve its structure even when small tears or cuts appear. It remains in the tissues and does not require removal! The high plasticity of the created warp-knit material eliminates the possibility of biomechanical conflict between the knitwear and the fabrics and allows the material to be placed in the case of extremely thin mucous membranes. Unlike untreated material, tension metal knitwear spreads freely over the surface of the surgical wound and has a pronounced adhesion to the surface of the surgical wound; easily assumes and maintains a given shape, and, if necessary, is modeled according to the shape of the surgical wound by stretching. High adhesion of tension-metal knitwear to the wound surface allows placement of the titanium mesh without tension of the mucoperiosteal flap, preventing such complications as divergence of the edges of the surgical wound. At the same time, the highly porous structure does not delay the wound discharge, excluding the likelihood of fluid leakage and their further infection. The porosity of the material, provided by the presence of free space between the loop rods and loop broaches, increases the rate of penetration of biological fluids into the implant, accelerates the process of its colonization with fibroblasts and osteoblasts. and improves the integration of the material, in contact with the wound surface, the titanium matrix is instantly impregnated with blood and wound discharge and exhibits pronounced adhesion to the wound surface, providing temporary self-fixation, allowing the surgeon not to use fixing elements: pins, microscrews, etc. In addition, a specific relief is made on the surface of the thread in the form of chaotically spreading depressions and bumps, with a general decrease in the diameter of the thread of the knitted fabric. The surface relief of the thread significantly improves the fixation of fibrin fibers on it, thereby facilitating the attraction of fibroblasts serving as a source of newly formed connective tissue. It was found that, unlike organic materials, the Vitronectin protein, which is an important initiator of the formation of connective tissue, is deposited on titanium silk in the first place and in the greatest amount. An important property is also easy cutting of the biointegration complex formed on the Titanium silk implant after several months of implantation. Thus, it becomes possible to insert dental implants without removing the titanium matrix, which is excluded when using perforated titanium foil as a membrane. Those.
