- the membrane 100 is perforated, so that the contact surface 1 and the mating surface 2 through at least one hole 15, in particular through a plurality of holes, in particular on the total th areas can be distributed, are interconnected.
- the perforation holes have a diameter of at least about 0.3 mm and at most about 1.3 mm.
- Perforation holes, in particular perforation holes with a diameter of about 1 mm allow the penetration of capillaries through the membrane, so that in the area of the newly formed bone a very good blood circulation and immune defense is ensured.
- the perforations allow a good circulation of the membrane covering mucosa and the regenerate between the membrane and the bone.
- the number of perforation holes preferably depends on the size of the membrane. For example, a membrane having a length of about 20 mm and a width of about 10 mm may have about 10 to 20 perforation holes.

- Suitable bone replacement material is, for example, Bio- Oss® from Geistlich.
- the bone substitute material is connected via the fibrin glue with the contact surface of the membrane.
- Such a coating advantageously makes it possible, on the one hand, for the newly formed bone tissue to adhere to the membrane before and during the distraction, since the bone tissue can adhere well to the bio-replacement material.
- such a coating allows a simple detachment, in particular even an independent detachment of the membrane from the newly formed bone after the end of the distraction, since the fibrin glue is biodegradable, and thus biodegraded and decomposed during and especially after the distraction.
- the coating of bone substitute material separates from the contact surface of the membrane. The membrane can be removed without having to be separated from the bone, and the bone replacement material can remain in the restored bone defect.
- FIG. 10 shows a distraction device 200 comprising a curved membrane 100 with perforations 15, a fixing device 120 and an actuator element in the form of a rack 130 connecting the fixing device 120 to the membrane 100.
- the distraction membrane 100 is fastened to one end of the rack 130 ,
- the rack 130 is curved, but may also be straight.
- the fixing device 120 comprises a gear, in particular a self-locking gear, for moving the rack, wherein the gear is stationary in the region of the bone to be regenerated, in particular in the mouth, can be arranged.
- the transmission comprises a housing 121 with a passage and a threaded body 122, wherein the rack 130 in the longitudinal extent through the passage at least substantially free of play through the housing 121st is inserted, and wherein the threaded body 122 is rotatably supported in the housing 121 such that the threaded body 122 and the rack 130 are in operative engagement.
- the gear 120 can be arranged in a stationary manner in the region of a bone to be regenerated, in particular in the oral cavity, via further elements of the fixing device 120, for example brackets or bridges.
- FIG. 11 shows a distraction device 200 with a curved membrane 100 according to the invention.
- the membrane is connected to a gear 120 via a toothed rack 130.
- the transmission 120 is laminated into a bridge 125 which is attached to two teeth 160, 161.
- the insertion, in particular the implantation, can be done individually, so that positional differences between the middle of the alveolar ridge and the bridge can be compensated, in particular if the bridge is not located directly above the middle of the alveolar ridge.
- Between the teeth 160, 161 is a gap with a bone defect 162 of the arched jaw bone 163.
- the membrane 100 rests with its contact surface 1 in the bone defect on the jawbone. Since the membrane 100 has approximately the curvature of the jaw bone 163, the contact surface 1 is uniform.
- a Koagel 164 has formed, in which there are also osteoblasts. These can adhere to the contact surface 1 of the membrane 100.
- the threaded body 122 in the housing 121st of the gear 120 is rotated with a screwdriver or the like, the rack 130 moves and with it the membrane 100 upwards.
- the threaded body 122 can be rotated so that the membrane 100 of the jaw bone 163 at a speed of about 05 to 2 mm, in particular about 1 mm / day removed.
- the threaded body 122 may be rotated once a day by a certain rotation or twice a day by half of that rotation.
- the rotational movement of the threaded body 122 is thus translated into a translational movement of the rack 130 and attached to the rack 130 membrane 100.
- the thread of the threaded body 122 has a pitch of 0.3 mm and the rack 130 has a corresponding toothing. This results in a stroke of the rack 130 and thus of the membrane 100 of 0.3 mm per complete revolution of the threaded body 122.
- the membrane By lifting the membrane biomechanical stimuli are exerted on the adhering osteoblasts, which lead to bone formation. Due to the perforations 15 in the membrane, the clot and the bone callus forming therein are sufficiently perfused by the tissue 165 located above the membrane. Due to the curvature of the membrane 100, the bone defect of the jawbone is filled up with new bone substance such that the filled-in bone defect has the convexly shaped curvature of the jawbone. The portion of the rack 130 which moves out of the transmission by the rotation of the threaded body and thus reaches 120 into the oral cavity, can be removed in a simple and advantageous manner, for example by sawing or Milling. Thus, the distraction device does not protrude disturbingly over the upper edge of the bitumen.
