主权项

1. A callus distraction membrane, comprising:
a contact surface as a first face of the callus distraction membrane adapted for contacting a callus of bone to promote osteogenesis; a counter-surface opposite the contact surface as a second face of the callus distraction membrane; and a peripheral edge surface extending along an entire periphery of the callus distraction membrane, the peripheral edge surface spanning between the contact surface and the counter-surface everywhere along said entire periphery; and wherein the peripheral edge surface is rounded in a transverse direction from the contact surface to the counter-surface everywhere along said entire periphery; wherein along the periphery are a plurality of corners that are rounded along a peripheral direction; and wherein at least a sub-region of the contact surface is arched and wherein a corresponding sub-region of the counter-surface is arched.
