Why Intact Fish Skin?
Most traditional dermal substitutes are derived from human or porcine (pig) donors. Because of the risk of mammalian disease transmission, these tissues must undergo intensive, harsh chemical processing. This severe treatment strips away the material's natural components, altering its structure.
Because there is no known risk of viral disease transfer from North Atlantic cod to humans, Kerecis fish skin undergoes only a gentle, proprietary decellularization process (EnviroIntact™).
Key benifits of Kerecis:
Structure homologous to human skin
No cultural or religious barriers to clinician/patient acceptance
Easy to use, with larger, thicker sheets
No known risk of viral disease transfer
Supports cell ingrowth and vascular ingrowth
Products
To accommodate varying wound depths, surface areas, and anatomical challenges, Kerecis intact fish skin is engineered into five distinct clinical formats. Each shape is optimized to streamline application and maximize graft-to-tissue contact.
A pioneer in the globally expanding fields of regenerative medicine. Responsibly sourced from the pristine waters of Iceland and crafted from line-caught North-Atlantic Cod, Kerecis transforms a sustainable marine resource into an FDA-cleared, clinically proven biologic graft that is fundamentally changing the standard of care for wound management and surgical closure.
