Another application for expanded PTFE (ePTFE) is in the use during various dental surgical procedures and surgical grafting. In the correct product density and configuration. This material can be used as barrier membranes to prevent bacterial growth and epithelial migration or provide tissue scaffold for reconstruction. These membranes can be used with or without reinforcement, which can help the membrane maintain the desired shape.
