摘要

Devices for regenerating a bone are provided. The devices include a non-dimensionally stable membrane that is stretchable and that has at least one edge or frame, at least three bone fixing elements provided at the at least one edge or frame, and a hole at a central area of the membrane with a strengthened edge. In addition, methods are provided for regenerating a bone by distraction, or by forwarding and transferring biomechanical impulses into a bone defect.
