Geistlich Derma-Gide®

Designed to support wound healing

How is Geistlich Derma-Gide® applied to my wound?

Preparation

Your health care provider will begin by carefully cleaning and disinfecting the wound and will remove non-viable tissue.

Sizing and Shaping

Your health care provider will then trim and shape the advanced wound matrix to fit the size of your specific wound.

Application

Your health care provider will then trim and shape the advanced wound matrix to fit the size of your specific wound.

Additional Wound Dressings

Your health care provider may also apply adhesive strips or sutures to secure the matrix into place.
Your health care provider will apply multiple layers of different types of dressing on top of the Geistlich Derma-Gide® in order to protect the matrix and the wound.

Joe's story

Since 2014, Joe has been living with a reoccurring diabetic foot ulcer. Reoccurrence of his wound and longer healing periods created a feeling of depression for Joe and limited him from perfoming and enjoying his normal daily activities. Understanding why diabetic foot ulcers occur is important and Joe is grateful for the education provided by his health care provider so that he can work cooperatively to optimize his healing changes.

"I am very pleased that my diabetic foot ulcer healed so quickly once it was treated with Geistlich Derma-Gide®. I am grateful to companies such as Geistlich Medical, who provide solutions for healing my wound and who help patients like me to regain my quality of life."

*Not all wounds will heal, even with an advanced wound matrix such as Geistlich Derma-Gide®. Please work closely with your health care provider to optimize the chance of wound healing.
