Inspired by Nature, Engineered by Geistlich

Geistlich Fibro-Gide® is a porcine, porous, resorbable and volume-stable collagen matrix, specifically designed for soft-tissue regeneration and entirely developed by Geistlich Biomaterials in close collaboration with leading clinicians from around the world.

Geistlich Fibro-Gide® has been designed as an alternative treatment option to connective tissue grafts that are considered the gold standard in regenerative soft-tissue procedures.^1-3

This collagen matrix is intended to be used for soft-tissue regeneration at the alveolar ridge around natural teeth and implants, and should be used as a submerged scaffold where an increase in soft-tissue thickness is clinically desired. The matrix is available in the two sizes: Geistlich Fibro-Gide® 15x20x6mm and Geistlich Fibro-Gide® 20x40x6mm.

“Geistlich Fibro-Gide® is one of the major innovations

in regenerative dentistry in the last 20 years.”

(PD Dr. Daniel Thoma | Zurich, Switzerland)

Geistlich Fibro-Gide® – In a nutshell

• In vivo animal models have shown good integration of Geistlich Fibro-Gide® into the surrounding soft-tissue while maintaining stability.⁴

• Volume stability is provided with a smart cross-linking of the reconstituted collagen.⁵

• The porous network of Geistlich Fibro-Gide® supports angiogenesis, formation of new connective tissue and stability of the collagen network in submerged healing situations.^1,6

• Geistlich Fibro-Gide® has an unlimited availability and is of consistent quality.⁵

• Geistlich Fibro-Gide® can be shaped to the desired dimensions both in dry and moist state.⁵

• Geistlich Fibro-Gide® does not require pre-treatment: Excellent hydrophilic characteristics lead to a rapid hydration by patient’s own blood and/or sterile saline solution.⁵

• Geistlich Fibro-Gide® does not require a second surgical site for harvesting grafts from the palate.¹
