Bio-Gide^® Shape

Geistlich Bio-Gide^® Shape is a pre-cut collagen membrane designed for the treatment of extraction sockets. The membrane is based on the Geistlich Bio-Gide^® Perio technology and includes enhanced stiffness, lengthens the time available for exact positioning; this is a huge advantage for your application comfort.

Conveniently shaped for ridge preservation

• Easy handling and application comfort: Geistlich Bio-Gide^® Perio technology for enhanced stiffness 
• Ready-to-use: Reduces preparation time
• Significantly more bone formation occurs when Geistlich Bio-Gide^® is used to protect the Geistlich Bio-Oss^® in a defective extraction socket¹

Ridge Preservation: A predictable solution² ³ ⁴ ⁵ ⁶ ⁷
With Geistlich Biomaterials, considerably more ridge volume is preserved at 4 month after tooth extraction.⁸

Spontaneous healing

•  Around 50% of the alveolar volume is lost over 6 months (horizontal 29-63%, vertical 11-22%).⁹
• Without supportive bone, the buccal and labial soft tissue in the socket collapses. The natural formation of new bone in the socket cannot compensate for the loss of alveolar volume.¹⁰

Ridge Preservation with Geistlich Bio-Oss® Collagen and Geistlich Bio-Gide^®

Avoids further bone augmentation at implant placement in more than 90% of cases.⁷ ⁸
Achieves a ridge contour that allows an easier insertion of implants11 or serves as a sufficient basis for bridge restoration¹² .
