The augmentation is carried our with autologous bone and titanium foil. The bone implants are covered with a titanium foil after application. To avoid dislocation of the augmentation material below the membrane, the membrane is fixed with at least 2 pins. 

The titanium pins with 3mm or 5mm length are taken our of the storage box by means of the applicators and pressed into the bone through the foil or membrane.
