Inion GTR™ Tack

The Inion GTR™ Biodegradable Tacks are intended to be used with a biodegradable membrane by fastening the membrane in position. The use of Inion GTR™ Tacks with the biodegradable membrane is indicated for surgical treatment of periodontal defects (e.g. class II furcation defects, intrabony defects and recession type defects), for pre-implant and peri-implant surgery and for covering bone defects and empty sockets.

Inion GTR™ is a US FDA 510(k)-cleared medical device (Class II), manufactured by Inion Oy.

The Inion GTR™ Biodegradable Tacks are made of degradable copolymers composed of L-lactide, D, L-lactide, and trimethylene carbonate. These polymers degrade in vivo by hydrolysis into alpha-hydroxy acids that are metabolized by the body.
