BioCover is a processed, dehydrated graft containing multiple layers of human amnion tissue. Each BioCover is sealed in a double pouch configuration and terminally sterilized.

BioCover features an “SM” embossed onto the BioCover surface. This allows clinicians to easily identify the basement membrane side of BioCover and helps ensure proper orientation during placement. |

BioCover does not require hydration prior to use. It rehydrates upon placement and naturally self-adheres to the exposed root surface and proximal bone. This unique attribute eliminates the need to suture the graft into place. The illustration below highlights graft placement, the graft self-adhering to the defect, and closure of the surgical site. Please see Surgical Videos section of this website to watch a procedure using BioCover.
