Greater comfort and efficiency with Geistlich Panorama® Retractor

PRINCETON, NJ — With Geistlich Panorama®, the Swiss family-owned company expands its product range with a soft, latex-free lip and cheek retractor. It enhances treatment comfort, improves visibility and access during procedures, and simplifies dental work.1 

Geistlich continuously expands its product portfolio to enable more regenerative treatments worldwide. Efficiency and comfort are key criteria in this endeavor. To support routine clinical practice, the regeneration expert is adding a practical, user-oriented solution to its portfolio. With Geistlich Panorama®, the Swiss company introduces a soft lip and cheek retractor that enhances patient comfort and simplifies dental procedures1
 
The retractor reliably holds lips and cheeks away from the treatment area during oral procedures, ensuring optimal visibility and unrestricted access — without the need for handheld retractors and additional staff.1 Its flexible, latex-free material provides excellent wearing comfort, making it ideal even for sensitive patients.1 “Our goal with Panorama is to make everyday clinical work easier and to make treatments more comfortable for everyone involved,” explains Dr. Mark Spilker, Chief Scientific Officer of Geistlich.
 
Launch in March 2026

The retractor can simplify a wide range of procedures, including diagnostic examinations, scanning, patient treatments and photography. Geistlich Panorama® will be available in two sizes, Regular and Small, as well as mixed-size packages. The market launch will take place in March 2026 in the USA. 

“Our goal with Panorama is to make everyday clinical work easier and to make treatments more comfortable for everyone involved.”

Geistlich Expands its Partnership with Meisinger and Launches the Master-Pin-Control System

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
February 4, 2026

Geistlich Expands its Partnership with Meisinger – Launches the Master Pin Control Kit, Pin System

PRINCETON, NJ — Geistlich Pharma North America is proud to announce the expansion of its collaboration with Meisinger through the launch of the Master-Pin-Control Kit, a precision fixation system designed to further enhance outcomes in regenerative dental procedures.

Developed by Dr. Istvan Urban, the Master-Pin-Control system is specifically engineered for the fixation of resorbable, non-resorbable, and titanium membranes. Crafted from Grade 5 titanium alloy, each pin features a small groove design that allows it to be inserted like a pin and easily removed like a screw.

The sharp tip and robust structure enable precise placement into cortical bone, and the innovative threading ensures easy, safe removal after successful healing. This innovative design allows clinicians to achieve more secure membrane fixation and reduces the risk of complications.

“Our partnership with Meisinger continues to deliver meaningful innovation to our customers,” said Les Burrows, General Manager of Geistlich Pharma North America. “The opportunity to add the Master-Pin-Control system to our growing biomaterials product portfolio is exciting and enhances our fixation system products for our customers.”

“Our partnership with Meisinger continues to deliver meaningful innovation to our customers.”

Takeover and transformation: Geistlich lays the foundation for innovation

But his pioneering spirit extended far beyond the factory: after the completion of the Simplon Tunnel, Geistlich employed skilled workers who had become available to blast a water channel into the rock. The water obtained from this powered the company’s own hydroelectric power plant, which supplied electricity not only to the factory but also to three villages. The electrification of the region began as early as 1908 – a milestone for progress and sustainability.

With the founding of the family-owned public limited company Ed. Geistlich Söhne AG in 1909, the company embarks on the path to a modern corporate structure – and remains true to its tradition and innovative strength to this day.

How it all began – with pioneering spirit and responsibility

Eduard Geistlich, then 16 years old, joined the company in 1872 and took it over as sole owner in 1884. With visionary entrepreneurial spirit, he expanded Geistlich into an internationally successful business. Despite high protective tariffs and strong competition, the products impressed with their quality and made the Geistlich brand known throughout Europe.


But Eduard Geistlich was more than just an entrepreneur: he brought electricity to Schlieren for the first time, participated in the construction of the Limmattalbahn railway, and installed the first telephone in the area. His commitment to the community set new standards—from the kindergarten and welfare center to the promotion of housing for employees.


This pioneering spirit lives on today: Geistlich stands for innovation, responsibility, and social commitment—then as now.

From glue hut to industry icon:
the beginnings of the Geistlich company

The history of the Geistlich company begins in 1825 with the birth of Heinrich Geistlich in Greifensee. As a master locksmith in Meilen, he worked for his fellow believer Heinrich Glättli, who founded Switzerland’s first glue factory in Riesbach in 1851 – the so-called “Lymhütte.” This factory marks the origin of today’s Geistlich company. Even today, the “Leimgasse” (Glue Alley) in the Zurich district commemorates this historic location.

The history of glue dates back to the Stone Age. Advanced civilizations such as the Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans used animal substances for gluing. In the Middle Ages, glue was mainly in demand for bookbinding and woodworking. With the Enlightenment, knowledge of the chemical principles behind glue increased. From the 20th century onwards, technological advances led to synthetic adhesives that are more durable and versatile.

Geistlich shaped glue production for over 150 years – by combining traditional craftsmanship and modern technology, a simple product became an innovative industry.
