RESORBABLE MEMBRANE

TYPE I PORCINE COLLAGEN RESORBABLE MEMBRANE

Advertisement

•Fully Resorbable; no second surgery required

•Easy to use; either side may be placed against defect

•Can be used dry or hydrated Hydrates in minutes

Membrane does not stick to itself when hydrated allowing for easy placement and/or repositioning

•Membrane retains sufficient memory when hydrated which allows it to be easily positioned under the periosteum uniformly without bunching up This also allows the membrane to maintain its shape and position during closing, suturing and throughout its use

•Membrane is also soft and conformable This allows membrane to adapt well to most varying bone topographies

•Unique fiber orientation provides membrane with high tensile strength and high suture pullout resistance

•Provides effective barrier functionality for 16-24 weeks

Common Applications

Periodontal defects

Sinus lift osteotomies Repair of access windows Soft tissue augmentation Periapical lesions

For optimal bone formation and soft-tissue healing, a barrier function is just the beginning.

Geistlich Bio-Gide® is comprised of Type I and III collagens, the predominant collagen constituents of human oral tissues, which provide collagen signals and fibril guidance for healing cells13 It is designed with a smooth, compact cell occlusive layer which is an ideal catalyst for the attachment of fibroblasts.2, 4-13 This unique surface and its similarity to periosteum guides fibroblasts to lay down and align on the surface, creating a functional “biologic membrane” for favorable healing of the gingival tissue

The fibrous layer facing the defect acts as a guide for angiogenic and osteoblastic cells which become the foundation2, 4-12 for optimal bone formation and regenerative healing

Geistlich Bio-Gide® is indicated in the following therapeutic areas:

Optimal soft-tissue healing

Excellent tissue integration

Early and complete vascularization

Undisturbed bone regeneration

Predictable outcomes in the esthetic zone

Ease-of-use in a wide range of indications
