Frequently Asked Questions

Is Geistlich Bio-Oss Collagen® a collagen plug?

No. Geistlich Bio-Oss Collagen® is a mixture of 90% Geistlich Bio-Oss® spongiosa granules and 10% highly purified porcine collagen in a block form. Geistlich Bio-Oss® is a natural bone mineral of bovine origin. The collagen facilitates adaptation of the Geistlich Bio-Oss® to the defect site.

Do I need a membrane when using Geistlich Bio-Oss Collagen® ?

The collagen in Geistlich Bio-Oss Collagen® does not function as a membrane. When space maintenance is required, it is recommended to use a membrane for optimal results1.
