Kerecis
Kerecis, founded by Fertram Sigurjonsson, develops fish-skin and fatty acid products for cellular therapy, tissue regeneration, and protection. The patented material supports healing and regeneration when grafted onto damaged tissue, with no disease-transfer risk between cold-water fish and humans. The fish-skin is gently processed to maintain its natural structure, strength, and molecules.
Clinical studies show that Kerecis products heal wounds faster than competitors. Kerecis is the only global manufacturer of medical devices containing intact fish-skin and is the fastest growing company in the U.S. biologics skin market.
Products include SurgiBind®, GraftGuide®, MariGen®, and Shield™ for various medical applications. Committed to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, Kerecis uses sustainable Icelandic fish processed with renewable energy. Kerecis is a part of Coloplast, a leading supplier of intimate healthcare products.
