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.
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.
- Early implant placement possible 8-10 weeks after extraction1.
- Reduced surgical chair-time compared with autogenous grafts1.
- Faster soft-tissue wound healing compared with autogenous 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.
