What You Need to Know

Feature

Clinical Significance

Material Composition

Purified Type I and Type III Bovine Collagen. This dual-type composition maximizes biocompatibility to help control bleeding and stabilize the blood clot aiding in the wound healing process.

Resorption Profile

Essentially resorbed within 30 days. Eliminates the need for secondary surgical removal, reducing patient morbidity and simplifying post-operative protocol.

Mechanism of Action

Acts as a scaffold for blood clot stabilization.

Sterility

Supplied sterile and non-pyrogenic for single use only.

Optimized Clinical Applications: Choose Your Form.

Clinicians demand clear segmentation for specific defects. The Cytoplast™ RTM line offers three distinct forms tailored to common surgical scenarios.

Handling and Advantages

RTM Plug

Socket Management: Used to fill contained, small defects, such as single tooth extraction sites, small biopsy sites, or endodontic surgery access points.

Advantage: Maintains space and volume in fully intact sockets; high structural integrity for deep placement¹.

RTM Foam

Highly porous, compressible bovine collagen structure, which rapidly absorbs blood to accelerate clot formation while seamlessly conforming to irregular surgical sites to contain particulate bone grafts and protect delicate donor sites.

Advantage: Highly conformable to complex anatomy; superior fluid absorption for fast, reliable hemostasis.

RTM Tape

Linear Wounds & Soft Tissue Protection: Excellent for covering suture lines, minor lacerations, exposed bony edges, and protecting grafted sites during secondary closure.

Advantage: Thin, flexible sheet provides broad coverage and aids soft tissue contouring.

*Do not use on infected or highly contaminated wounds. Do not use if there is a known allergy to bovine-derived collagen materials. Discard any open, unused product.

Frequently Asked Clinical Questions

Q: Does Cytoplast RTM need to be removed?

A: No. The RTM line is resorbable and will be absorbed by the body in approximately 30 days, eliminating the need for a second procedure.

Q: Can I suture over the RTM Plug/Foam?

A: Yes. The dressing can be secured in place using standard suturing techniques to aid in primary or secondary soft tissue closure.

Q: What is the main benefit of using collagen over a simple clot?

A: Collagen provides an organized, protected scaffold that stabilizes the blood clot, resists enzymatic degradation, and accelerates the recruitment of necessary cells (fibroblasts) to promote higher-quality, faster soft tissue healing.²
