Yes. Fixation of the membrane may be indicated to avoid displacement due to loading or mobilization. The membrane can be sutured in place using absorbable sutures and a non-cutting needle. Resorbable tacks can also be used to affix the membrane. The mucoperiosteal flap is sutured over the collagen membrane and the wound should be closed completely to avoid accelerated resorption due to membrane exposure.
