Augma Shield™

Key points about Augma Shield™

• Augma Shield™ is a resorbable intraoral wound dressing that attaches to the gum. When sutured on top of the bone graft cement, Augma Shield™ provides an ultimate coverage until soft tissue closes and healing begins.
• Augma Shield™ was tested as graft protection above Augma Bone Graft Cement. The bacteriostatic nature of Augma Bone Graft allows placement of Augma Shield™ for ultimate protection. Placing Augma Shield™ over any other bone graft is not advisable.
• Every Augma Shield box contains 20 pieces of 15x25mm
