Handling of Geistlich Fibro-Gide is very easy compared to connective tissue grafts:

• Unlimited availability and consistent quality.
• Measure the defect and trim the matrix to the desired size and thickness.
• Once moist, the matrix can be further trimmed to the desired size and thickness.
• Geistlich Fibro-Gide can easily be sutured.
• No need for pre-treatment: Excellent hydrophilic characteristics lead to rapid hydration by patient’s own blood and/or sterile saline solution with a volume increase of approx. 25 %.
• The soaked matrix adapts to contours and adheres well to the defect.
• Squeezing and re-hydration: Once squeezed, the matrix goes back to its initial state after remoistening (considering the additional swelling of approx. 25 %).
• Geistlich Fibro-Gide does not require a second surgical site.
• Geistlich Fibro-Gide should be used as a submerged graft to increase soft-tissue thickness around implants and natural teeth.
