Geistlich Mucograft®
Geistlich Mucograft® is a unique 3D collagen matrix designed specifically for soft-tissue regeneration in the oral cavity1. It is indicated for gaining keratinised tissue2,3,4 and for recession coverage5,6.
Geistlich Mucograft® provides an alternative to autogenous soft-tissue grafts2,4,5,6. Painful harvesting of tissue is avoided, benefiting patients and clinicians alike.
Significantly less pain with Geistlich Mucograft®* as compared to connective tissue graft (CTG)2.
Significantly less surgical chair time with Geistlich Mucograft® as compared to connective tissue graft (CTG)4.
Leading clinicians rely on Geistlich Mucograft®:
- No harvest-site morbidity2,3,5-7.
- Less pain compared with autogenous grafts2,4.
- Reduced surgical chair-time compared with autogenous grafts2-6.
- Natural soft-tissue colour and texture match5,8,9.
- Early vascularisation and good soft-tissue ingrowth10,11.
- Excellent wound healing, also in open situations2.
- Easy handling2 and application in a dry state.
Geistlich Mucograft® consists of two structures: the compact structure provides stability while allowing open healing; the spongy structure supports blood clot stabilisation and ingrowth of soft-tissue cells.
