mucoderm®

Mastering esthetics. Porcine 3D collagen graft.

mucoderm® provides a true alternative in certain indications to the patient’s own connective tissue. This stable 3-dimensional collagen soft tissue replacement, made of porcine dermis, supports fast revascularization and soft tissue integration, including color and texture.

Features and benefits

3-dimensional matrix

The unique, porous structure makes mucoderm® an ideal scaffold for ingrowth of blood vessels and cells and promotes fast tissue integration and revascularization.²^-³

High tensile strength

Due to the structural stability, mucoderm® can be:

sutured, pinned or screwed
easily cut to the required size and shape
easily applied by the tunnel technique without risk of tearing the matrix apart.

Structure similar to human tissue

mucoderm® is a viable alternative to the patient’s own tissue in certain indications:

Remodels completely into patient’s own tissue within 6 – 9 months.
Reduces the patients’ discomfort and donor site morbidity.
