Geistlich Mucograft®

Geistlich Mucograft® is a unique collagen matrix designed specifically for soft-tissue regeneration1. It is indicated for the gain of keratinized tissue2-4 and for recession coverage5,6.

Geistlich Mucograft® provides an alternative to autogenous soft-tissue grafts2,4-6.  Harvesting of the patient’s tissue is avoided, providing a benefit to both patients and clinicians.

User benefits:

  • No harvest-site morbidity2,3,5-7
  • Less pain compared with autogenous grafts2,4
  • Reduced surgical chair-time compared with autogenous grafts2-6
  • Natural soft-tissue color and structure match the patients’ own tissues5,8,9
  • Early vascularization and good soft-tissue ingrowth10,11
  • Excellent wound healing, also in open healing situations2
  • Geistlich Mucograft® provides easy handling and application in a dry state

Geistlich Mucograft® consists of two structures: the compact macro-structure provides stability while allowing open healing; the spongy micro-structure supports blood clot stabilization and the ingrowth of soft tissue cells.
