Geistlich Mucograft^® Seal

Geistlich Mucograft^® Seal is a ready-to-use matrix with a convenient circular shape. The matrix provides an alternative to soft-tissue grafts. Geistlich Mucograft^® Seal is indicated for the sealing of extraction sockets with preserved buccal walls in combination with Geistlich Bio-Oss^® Collagen in ridge preservation procedures. The matrix establishes predictable dimensions for soft-tissue management.

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.

• Minimal invasion.
• No harvest site morbidity.
• Creates predictable soft-tissue dimensions for later soft-tissue management and allows for flexible timing of implant placement.
• Early implant placement possible 8-10 weeks after extraction.
• Reduced surgical chair-time compared with autogenous grafts.
• Faster soft-tissue wound healing compared with autogenous grafts.
• Natural soft-tissue colour and texture match.

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.

Ready to use: Direct from the blister to the defect without pre-treatment or pre-hydration.

Geistlich Mucograft^® Seal does not require pre-hydration or washing. It should be handled and applied in a dry state.

Before applying Geistlich Mucograft^® Seal, adjacent soft-tissue margins should be de-epithelialised. This allows soft-tissue cells to migrate from the soft-tissue boarder into the matrix.

Orientation of Geistlich Mucograft^® Seal: The compact structure of the matrix should face outwards and the spongy structure towards the extraction socket. Geistlich Mucograft^® Seal spongeous structure is striped for easier differentiation of the two sides.

The close adaptation of the device to tissue boarders can be accomplished by single interrupted sutures…
