Geistlich Bio-Gide Membranes

Geistlich Bio-Gide is a collagen membrane for reliable bone regeneration and optimal tissue integration. The natural collagen structure of Geistlich Bio-Gide permits prompt and homogeneous vascularization and so brings about optimal tissue integration and wound stabilization. The smooth side of Geistlich Bio-Gide prevents soft tissue from growing into the defect and serves as a scaffold for the attachment of fibroblasts. The rough, open-pored layer side of Geistlich Bio-Gide serves as a framework for bone cells and blood vessels. Geistlich Bio-Gide is used in combination with a bone substitute such as Geistlich Bio-Oss or Geistlich Bio-Oss Collagen.

Leading clinicians rely on Geistlich Bio-Gide for:

• Optimal tissue integration and wound stabilization
• High therapy safety even in case of dehiscence
• 11% more new bone formation with Geistlich Bio-Oss and Geistlich Bio-Gide vs Geistlich Bio-Oss alone
• Simplified surgery without removal of the membrane
• Aesthetically stable results after 5-9 years
• Long-term data over 12 to 14 years show predictable results of bone augmentations with Geistlich Bio-Oss and Geistlich Bio-Gide

In the 1990s, Dr. Peter Geistlich was the first to develop a natural collagen membrane that optimally meets the requirements for regenerative dentistry. Meanwhile, Geistlich Bio-Gide is a collagen membrane, validated by over 20 years of successful use in more than two million patients and documented in more than 250 scientific publications.

Geistlich Bio-Gide should always be used with a bone substitute, such as Geistlich Bio-Oss or Geistlich Bio-Oss Collagen. Application of Geistlich Bio-Gide membrane is easy:

• Measure the defect with a periodontal probe.
• Cut 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.

The membrane may be sutured or fixed with pins, but this is unnecessary in most cases due to its marked hydrophilic and adhesive properties.
