Nibec Co., Ltd. GDS 5-2515 GuidOss

GuidOss is made from pure Type I porcine collagen membrane. It is a resorbable collagen membrane for guided tissue and bone regenerations. The Type I collagen is obtained from porcine skin purified to avoid immunological reactions. The GuidOss membrane is manufactured by fibrillogenesis and glycation with sugar (ribose). The collagen fibers are self-assembled by the process of fibrillogenesis. The glycation is a natural process of cross-linking of collagen occurring in vivo. The glycated collagen fibers exhibit increased mechanical strength, thermal stability and increased resistance to pepsin digestion compared to non-glycated collagen.
