Application

Geistlich Bio-Gide® - Handling

Geistlich Bio-Gide® Compressed is handled in the same way as Geistlich Bio-Gide®.

Geistlich Bio-Gide® Compressed should be used in combination with a void-filling bone graft material such as autologous bone or Geistlich Bio-Oss® or Geistlich Bio-Oss® Collagen. Application of Geistlich Bio-Gide® Compressed 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.

Fixation by sutures or pins is possible.
