Zimmer Sinus Lift Balloon Joins Regenerative Family
Zimmer Dental Inc., a leading provider of dental oral rehabilitation
products and a subsidiary of Zimmer Holdings, Inc., is pleased to announce the availability
of the Zimmer® Sinus Lift Balloon — the first in a series of “sinus lift solution”
products stemming from an exclusive distribution agreement with Osseous Technologies
of America (OTA). Created to simplify the delicate sinus lift procedure, the balloon
offers a convenient option for clinicians and aids in creating a more positive patient
experience.
The minimally invasive Zimmer Sinus Lift Balloon allows for improved vertical sinus
elevation results and gives clinicians added security when performing a traditional
sinus lift procedure — protecting the Schneiderian membrane from tearing, which
can significantly disrupt an implant case. The balloon instrument is also well-suited
for effectively measuring the required bone grafting material. For example, 1cc
of saline, which is used to inflate the balloon, is equal to 1cc of grafting material.
The Zimmer Sinus Lift Balloon is available in three convenient, single-use configurations
for optimum efficiency and ease-of-use. The angled design is ideal for lateral window
procedures, the straight model is well suited for a crestal approach, and the popular
micro-mini design can be used for either of these indications.
For decades, Zimmer Dental has gained the trust of thousands of clinicians worldwide
who count on its comprehensive line of scientifically-proven products to deliver
successful patient outcomes and the best value in the industry. The agreement with
OTA further reinforces Zimmer Dental’s industry-leading family of regenerative products.
