Leading clinicians rely on Geistlich Mucograft® Seal:
- Minimal invasion1,2
- No harvest site morbidity1
- Creates predictable soft tissue dimensions for later soft tissue management and allows for flexible timing of implant placement1

- Reduced surgical chair time compared with autologous grafts1
- Faster soft tissue wound healing compared with autologous grafts3
- Natural soft tissue colour and texture match1,3
Geistlich Mucograft® Seal 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.
Application
Geistlich Mucograft® Seal is a small round matrix designed to seal sockets with preserved buccal walls following ridge preservation.
Geistlich Mucograft® Seal is easy to handle:
- No need for pre-treatment or pre-hydration
- De-epithelialise adjacent soft tissue margins before applying Geistlich Mucograft® Seal, thus promoting soft tissue cell migration into the matrix
- Position the compact structure facing outwards and the spongy structure towards the extraction socket
- Suture using non-resorbable sutures, not glue
- Close adaptation of the matrix to tissue borders can be accomplished by single interrupted sutures, double interrupted sutures or cross sutures
