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.

- 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.
