From Pasture to Procedure: Ethical Sourcing for Safe Biomaterials
At Geistlich, we prioritize transparency and quality in the production of our regenerative biomaterials. Our products are derived from carefully sourced animal tissues, ensuring the highest standards of safety and efficacy.
As a biomaterial-producing company dedicated to creating high-quality products for clinicians and their patients, we place stringent requirements on the raw materials we select. Here, we outline the comprehensive standards we uphold:
Why Raw Material Sourcing Matters
Biomaterials play a vital role in regeneration, stability, and the long-term success of treatments. Bovine bones and porcine collagen are critical materials for dental procedures due to their compatibility with the human body.
Sourcing from Trusted Regions
Our approach to sourcing raw materials starts with the choice of suppliers. We partner exclusively with select suppliers in New Zealand, Australia, and Switzerland. These countries have stringent animal welfare regulations and are recognized globally for their humane livestock practices.
Responsible Resource Use
We recognize the importance of sustainability in every aspect of our operations. Our products are only created from bones and collagen that are by-products of the meat industry.

Rigorous Veterinary Oversight
We only source raw materials from animals that pass strict health inspections. Our audited slaughterhouses collaborate with independent veterinarians, employed by government agencies, who ensure compliance with high animal welfare standards.
A Legacy of Safety
The safety of our materials is paramount. One of the reasons we source exclusively from New Zealand, Australia, and more recently Switzerland. These regions have strict biosecurity measures and extensive veterinary checks to prevent diseases that can spread from animals to humans.
Strict Quality Control
Beyond responsible sourcing, we maintain rigorous internal quality control processes to ensure that every piece of raw material meets our precise standards.
