Intended Use
Cytoflex® Tefguard® Ti-Enforced membrane is a temporarily, non-resorbable, implantable material for use as a spacemaking barrier in the treatment of periodontal defects and augmentation of alveolar ridge in accordance with guided tissue regeneration principle.
Device Story
Cytoflex Tef-Guard Ti-Enforced membrane is a passive, non-resorbable, implantable barrier; consists of titanium frame enclosed within two layers of ePTFE. Surgically placed under muco-periosteum by dental professionals; acts as space-making barrier to contain bone grafting material; prevents gingival tissue cell migration into bony defects; facilitates neovascularization and bone repair. Implanted for 30 days up to 6 months; single-use; provided sterile. Benefits include improved environment for bone regeneration and graft stability.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data required. Performance evaluated via tensile loading, bending, flexibility, and delamination testing compared to primary predicate. Biocompatibility verified per ISO 10993-5, 6, 7, 10, and 11. Sterilization validated per ISO 11135.
Technological Characteristics
Multi-layer non-resorbable membrane; ePTFE exterior layers with internal titanium frame. Thickness 0.25mm; density 3.5 g/dm². Sterile (EtO gas, SAL <10^-6). Single-use. Biocompatible per ISO 10993 standards.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring guided tissue regeneration for the treatment of periodontal defects and alveolar ridge augmentation.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
Bone grafting material is a material such as hydroxyapatite, tricalcium phosphate, polylactic and polyglycolic acids, or collagen, that is intended to fill, augment, or reconstruct periodontal or bony defects of the oral and maxillofacial region.
Special Controls
*Classification.* (1) Class II (special controls) for bone grafting materials that do not contain a drug that is a therapeutic biologic. The special control is FDA's “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Dental Bone Grafting Material Devices.” (See § 872.1(e) for the availability of this guidance document.)(2) Class III (premarket approval) for bone grafting materials that contain a drug that is a therapeutic biologic. Bone grafting materials that contain a drug that is a therapeutic biologic, such as biological response modifiers, require premarket approval.
(c)
*Date premarket approval application (PMA) or notice of product development protocol (PDP) is required.* Devices described in paragraph (b)(2) of this section shall have an approved PMA or a declared completed PDP in effect before being placed in commercial distribution.

- 4. Device Description
Cytoflex® Tef-Guard® Ti-Enforced membranes are a multi-layer, non-resorbable membrane intended to be surgically placed under the muco-periosteum to aid in tissue regeneration in accordance with the guided tissue regeneration principle. It is a passive, non-load bearing material with a titanium frame enclosed within two exterior layers of ePTFE material. The titanium reinforcement is intended for space and shape maintenance to contain bone grafting material and to minimize graft migration during wound healing. The membranes are designed to reduce the migration and establishment of gingival tissue derived cells into bony defects thus providing a more

favorable environment for neovascularization and bone derived cells to repopulate and repair the defect. The membranes are intended to be submerged and implanted for more than 30 days and up to 6 months. The membrane is supplied sterile and available in a variety of shapes and sizes for single use only.

### 7. Device Characteristics
As summarized in the comparison Table above, the designs of Cytoflex® Tef-Guard® Ti-Enforced membranes are substantially equivalent to the primary predicate device, Cytoplast Titanium Reinforced high density PTFE Membrane, and reference predicate device, Neoss Ti Reinforced Membrane. The subject and the predicate devices are passive, non-load bearing membranes for use to maintain space and shape to contain bone grafting material and to minimize graft migration during wound healing. The membranes are designed to reduce the migration and establishment of gingival tissue derived cells

into bony defects thus providing a more favorable environment for neovascularization and bone derived cells to repopulate and repair the defect in accordance with the guided tissue regeneration principle to repair periodontal defects and/or augment alveolar ridge. The devices are for single use only and are provided sterile with a variety of configurations for different bony size defects.
### 8. Performance Testing
The performance of Cytoflex® Tef-Guard® Ti-Enforced membrane was evaluated against the primary predicate device for tensile loading, bending, flexibility and delaminating potential. The test results demonstrate that the subject device is substantially equivalent to the primary predicate device in functional performance.
Cytoflex® Tef-Guard® Ti-Enforced membrane is made of substantially equivalent biocompatible materials as the predicate devices. The subject device was tested according to the following ISO standards, and was found to meet the requirements of the pre-defined acceptance criteria. The results of the above testing demonstrate that the Cytoflex® Tef-Guard® Ti-Enforced membrane is substantially equivalent in safety and effectiveness, and its performance meets the requirements of its predefined acceptance criteria and intended use.
