Geistlich Bio-Gide® is the leading collagen membrane in North America for oral tissue regeneration. It is used in combination with a bone substitute such as Geistlich Bio-Oss® or Geistlich Bio-Oss Collagen®. Geistlich Bio-Gide® integrates with surrounding tissues to protect the initial coagulum. With its unique bilayer structure, Geistlich Bio-Gide® not only prevents ingrowth of soft tissue into the augmented site, but then optimally degrades to allow for the cascade of biologic events leading to regeneration.
Geistlich Bio-Gide® is naturally resorbable therefore a second surgery for removal of the membrane is not required. As it simplifies the surgical technique, and exhibits excellent wound healing properties, Geistlich Bio-Gide® has fundamentally changed dental bone regeneration.
Leading clinicians rely on Geistlich Bio-Gide® for:
Excellent tissue integration and undisturbed bone regeneration compared to using a bone substitute alone
Native collagen structure results in fewer dehiscences compared with other available membranes
Fully resorbable, no second surgery required for membrane removal
Predictable outcomes in the esthetic zone
Long-term data demonstrates predictable results in Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) treatments when Geistlich Bio-Gide® is used in combination with Geistlich Bio-Oss®
Indications:
Augmentation around implants placed in immediate and delayed extraction sockets
Localized ridge augmentation for later implantation
Alveolar ridge reconstruction for prosthetic treatment
Filling of bone defects after root resection, cystectomy, removal of retained teeth
GBR in dehiscence defects; and GTR procedures in periodontal defects
Application of Geistlich Bio-Gide® is easy:
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
Geistlich Bio-Gide® is available in three convenient sizes:
13 x 25 mm
25 x 25 mm
40 x 50 mm
and a combination kit:
Geistlich Combi-Kit Collagen - Geistlich Bio-Gide® 16 x 22 mm with Geistlich Bio-Oss® 100 mg
