Glidewell has renamed its Newport Biologics brand to Newport Surgical to reflect the addition of instruments, blades, and sutures to its portfolio of straightforward bone grafting solutions.
Established in 2016 by Glidewell as a simplified collection of regenerative materials and resorbable membranes, the Newport Surgical line now includes everything clinicians need for the most common bone grafting applications, including socket regeneration, ridge augmentation, sinus floor elevation, periodontal reconstruction, and peri-implant management, the company says.
“From the beginning, we’ve wanted to make it easy for dentists to decide which tools and materials they need for each situations,” said Dr. Neil Park, Glidewell vice president of clinical affairs. “Our tools and materials are clearly defined by indication, and the expansion of our product line means that clinicians can enjoy that same simplicity when buying and utilizing surgical instruments and sutures.”
The Newport Surgical Implant and Bone Grafting Instrument Kit assembles the 12 primary instruments needed for bone grafting in the dental practice. The streamlined set includes a large sterilization tray, bone carrier and spoon, 2/4 molt curette, sinus curette, serrated curette, Adson forceps with serrated tips, Crile needle holder, Goldman-Fox one-blade serrated scissors, scalpel handle No. 3 round, Seldin retractor, mouth retractor, and bone dish.
Newport Surgical also offers blades and sutures so clinicians can complete their surgical armamentarium. Available in size #15, GLASSVAN Surgical Blades feature newly refined cutting edges that improve the sharpness of the incision and reduce drag, Glidewell says. RELI PRO sutures are designed to be resorbable, quick, and simple to access without knots or tangles and available in polyglycolic acid and chromic gut with a 3/8 reverse cutting needle.
“Our goal is to help clinicians simplify every aspect of treatment, from implant placement to final restoration,” said Brian Volken, director of implant business development at Glidewell. “Bone grafting is an essential element of surgical implant procedures, and with growing numbers of practices providing this service for their patients, we aim to take the complexity out of attaining the tools and materials dentists need to succeed.”
