Collagen contains 90% small Geistlich Bio-Oss® granules and 10% porcine collagen. The small amount of collagen improves the handling capacities and the bone substitute material encourages effective and reliable bone formation. Geistlich Bio-Oss® Collagen is available in three block sizes: 100 mg (0.2 – 0.3 cm3) 250 mg (0.4 – 0.5 cm3) 500 mg (0.9 – 1.3 cm3)
