Gel 40
A unique heterologous bone gel
The product
The composition of Gel 40 facilitates the gentle detachment of the sinus membrane¹.
Cortico-cancellous Dual-Phase granules provide the necessary scaffold function², allowing the subsequent invasion of regenerative cells and new bone formation¹⁻². Gel 40 provides an osteoconductive matrix for new bone growth, while promoting soft tissue healing, when used in narrow self-contained bone defects¹⁻².

Gel 40 is ready-to-use, pre-hydrated and can be used for transcrestal sinus floor elevation protocols.
Why choosing Gel 40?
The perforation of the Schneiderian membrane is one of the major complications that may occur during transcrestal sinus floor elevation.
Various studies reported that Gel 40 simplifies the transcrestal sinus floor elevation¹’³⁻⁶ with immediate implant positioning: the collagen gel contained in Gel 40 gently detaches the sinus membrane making the surgery easier, faster¹, and predictable¹’⁶.
Finally, in case of accidental perforation of the Schneiderian membrane, Gel 40 bone granules accidentally dispersed into the sinus are easily extruded without major complications⁵.
How to handle Gel 40
The distinctive viscosity and density of Gel 40 facilitate the handling of the bone gel.
It was documented that, in case of adequate height of the bone crest, immediate implant placement reduces the physiological shrinkage of the biomaterial¹ in transcrestal sinus floor elevation.
