Geistlich Nexo-Gide®

Geistlich Nexo-Gide^® is available in three sizes: 20mm x 30mm, 30mm x 40mm and 40mm x 50mm.

A sterile aluminum template is included. Where it may be required to trim the membrane to size, the aluminum template can be used to determine the length of the suture line on the tendon.

Pliable low profile: Geistlich Nexo-Gide^® is naturally thin and low profile, allowing the matrix to conform and adapt to the affected tendon/soft tissue. The low profile of the membrane results in convenient handling properties and reduces the incidence of overstuffing the repair site.

Easy to handle: Provides a non-constricting protective encasement that can be trimmed and cut to size with the necessary pull-out strength for suturing the membrane to the tendon.

Features two distinct surfaces: Outer smooth surface reduces adherence and friction against surrounding soft tissues, while the inner porous surface provides conformability for optimal placement and an environment for healing and cellular ingrowth.

Geistlich Nexo-Gide^® is indicated for the management and protection of tendon injuries in which there has been no substantial loss of tendon tissue.

Geistlich Nexo-Gide^® is not indicated to replace or repair damaged tendon.

Geistlich Nexo-Gide^® is not indicated to reinforce the strength of any tendon repair.
