GORE RESOLUT® ADAPT® and GORE RESOLUT® ADAPT® LT Regenerative Membranes are constructed from the copolymer PGA:TMC (polyglycolic acid: trimethylene carbonate).
GORE-TEX® Regenerative Membranes are made from expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE).
GORE-TEX® Regenerative Membranes Titanium Reinforced have incorporated titanium struts laminated between two sheets of ePTFE.
GORE RESOLUT® XT Regenerative Membranes consist of a three-layer structure of two random fiber matrices on either side of a cell occlusive film. The membranes are composed of synthetic polymers: polyglycolic acid, polylactic acid, and trimethylene carbonate.
