creos™ mucogain
Unique oriented porous structure designed for guided soft tissue regeneration.
Substitutes the need for a second surgical site
Avoids the associated post-operative pain, bleeding, swelling and infection.1-3
Patented manufacturing method
creos mucogain is designed to promote soft tissue regeneration through the migration of cells and blood vessels into the matrix.4,5,6

Use straight out of the box
creos mucogain is intended to be used for soft tissue augmentation indications in the oral cavity around teeth or implants:
– guided tissue regeneration (GTR) procedures in recession defects for root coverage
– localized gingival augmentation to increase keratinized tissue around teeth and implants.
Clinically effective for soft tissue regeneration in combination with immediate implant placement and bone grafting procedure.7,8
A retrospective analysis including 45 patients with a follow-up of up to 4.5 years (mean of 1.8 ± 1.3 years) demonstrated that creos mucogain promotes soft tissue health and maintains adequate soft tissue thickness when used simultaneously with implant placement.9
"creos mucogain can be used in many clinical situations achivieng a satisfatory soft tissue stability with simplified approaches."
