Kollagenmatrix

Kollagenmatrix is a collagen-based biomaterial used in regenerative medicine and dentistry to support soft tissue healing and regeneration. It is a resorbable scaffold that mimics aspects of the extracellular matrix and is designed to integrate with surrounding tissue over time.

The material is typically composed of purified collagen derived from animal sources, such as porcine or bovine tissue. It is manufactured to create a porous, three-dimensional structure that facilitates cell migration and neovascularization. Depending on the product line, the matrix may be supplied as sheets, membranes, or sponge-like forms, with processing variations that influence resorption time and handling characteristics.

Kollagenmatrix is used in various clinical settings, including periodontal and mucogingival procedures, wound management, and dental implantology. It can serve as a barrier or scaffold in guided tissue regeneration, support soft tissue grafting, and protect healing sites. As with other collagen-based matrices, it is intended to be resorbed and replaced by host tissue over time.

Safety and regulation: Kollagenmatrix products are subject to regulatory oversight in many jurisdictions as medical devices or biologically derived graft materials. Sourcing and processing aim to minimize disease transmission risks and immunogenicity. Clinicians select products based on indications, handling properties, and evidence from clinical studies.
