Geistlich Fibro-Gide^®

Handling of Geistlich Fibro-Gide^® is very easy compared to connective tissue grafts:

• Unlimited availability and consistent quality.¹
• Measure the defect and trim the matrix to the desired size and thickness.¹
• Once moist, the matrix can be further trimmed to the desired size and thickness.¹
• Geistlich Fibro-Gide^® can easily be sutured.¹
• No need for pre-treatment: Excellent hydrophilic characteristics lead to rapid hydration by patient’s own blood and/or sterile saline solution with a volume increase of approx. 3-12 %.¹
• The soaked matrix adapts to contours and adheres well to the defect.¹
• Squeezing and re-hydration: Once squeezed, the matrix goes back to its initial state after remoistening (considering the additional swelling of approx. 25 %).¹
• Geistlich Fibro-Gide^® does not require a second surgical site.^2-4
• Geistlich Fibro-Gide^® should be used as a submerged graft to increase soft-tissue thickness around implants and natural teeth.¹

Product availability may vary from country to country.
