Geistlich Mucograft®
Geistlich Mucograft® is easy to handle compared to autogenous soft-tissue grafts1:
- Unlimited availability and consistent quality
- Ready to use: no need for pre-treatment or pre-hydration
- Tailor to defect shape: measure the defect and trim the matrix to the required shape
- Excellent hydrophilicity: apply the dry Geistlich Mucograft® to the defect; it will moisten rapidly due to the significant hydrophilicity
- Orientation: position the compact macro-structure facing away from the wound bed and the spongy micro-structure towards the bone or periosteum
- Good adherence: the hydrated matrix adapts easily to contours and adheres well to defect
- Easy to suture: the compact structure provides optimal suture pull-out strength
Direct from the blister pack to the defect without pre-treatment or pre-hydration.
After measuring the defect, the collagen matrix is trimmed to the desired size while dry.
The 3D-matrix moistens rapidly as a result of its excellent hydrophilicity (courtesy of Dr. Zablegui).
The hydrated Geistlich Mucograft® adapts readily to contours and adheres well to the defect (courtesy of Dr. Jepsen).2
