Snoasis Medical’s product, BioXclude™, is composed of processed human placental tissue. All tissue is donated from consenting mother’s undergoing elective cesarean section delivery and would otherwise be discarded. BioXclude can be used as a wound covering in a variety of dental applications which include covering bone graft material in the treatment of bony defects around teeth, in procedures performed in conjunction with the placement or repair of dental implants, or other bone reconstruction procedures. It can also be used to treat some forms of gingival recession and in tissue augmentation procedures.
