LeadFIX
LeadFIX
LeadFIX is an innovative biodegradable membrane pin made from polylactide, designed for use in dental surgery to aid guided bone regeneration. It provides a stable and secure method for fixing membranes in place, ensuring successful bone regeneration.
Innovation and Stability
The LeadFIX system offers a new approach in dental surgery by using resorbable membranes. It ensures total membrane stability, preventing movement between the membrane and surrounding tissues, which is crucial for successful bone regeneration.
Material and Safety
The pins are made from osteosynthetic implant material that degrades biologically through hydrolysis into lactic acid, which is then metabolized into CO₂ and H₂O. Clinical studies confirm the safe resorption of polylactide, and accidental swallowing poses no serious health risks.
Application and Handling
LeadFIX pins should be used with specific LeadFIX instruments. The design allows for easy application and secure positioning, with a shaft diameter of less than 1 mm and retention ridges for firm placement.
Operating Mode
After 6-7 months, the mechanical strength of the pins decreases, leading to resorption and volume reduction. The material is fully resorbed after 60 weeks.
Production and Ordering
Produced by BIOVISION GmbH, the LeadFIX system is part of a broader portfolio of resorbable biomaterials for dental surgery and orthopedics. Ordering information and contact details are provided for procurement.
Additional Products
BIOVISION also offers other bioresorbable products for orthopedics and wound care, including BetaBASE and BioBASE bone replacements, and EpiGARD synthetic skin replacement.

Biodegradable membrane pin from polylactide INNOVATION. The clinical use of resorbable membranes for guided bone regeneration constitutes a new approach in dental surgery. LeadFIX is a bioresorbable augmentation system used to fix membranes in position. STABILITY. Total membrane stability is an important pre-requisite for successful, guided bone regeneration. Application of the LeadFIX-augmentation system prevents any relative movement between the membrane and surrounding bone or membrane and mucoperiostal flaps. It ensures an intact seal and smooth transition to the periosteum. The membrane...
