Geistlich Bio-Gide® Compressed
Geistlich Bio-Gide® Compressed should always be used with a bone graft substitute, such as Geistlich Bio-Oss® or Geistlich Bio-Oss Collagen®.
Geistlich Bio-Gide® Compressed is simple to handle and provides ease of application:
- Measure the defect with a periodontal probe.
- Trim the dry collagen membrane to the desired shape and size.
- Apply dry with the rough side facing the defect.
- Moisten the membrane in situ with blood from the defect.
The membrane may be sutured or fixed with pins, but this is unnecessary in most cases due to its marked hydrophilic and adhesive properties.
