“This is the first time we have combined our fish skin with another material, in this case medical-grade silicone,” said Fertram Sigurjonsson, founder and CEO of Kerecis. “Until now the application of the Kerecis fish-skin graft has required three components: the fish skin itself, a contact layer and a cover dressing to regulate the moisture level on the wound. By integrating the contact layer with the fish skin, the application becomes faster and easier and the inventory needs at the healtcare facility simpler,” he added.
