SurgiClose is intact fish skin intended for the management of trauma wounds and surgical wounds in the operating room. Because there is no known risk of viral or prion disease transfer from North-Atlantic cod to humans, the fish skin only needs mild processing with a proprietary method. This process preserves the skin’s natural qualities, including: its three-dimensional structure, mechanical properties, molecular organization and composition. The product is homologous to human skin and when applied to damaged tissue, such as partial thickness burns or wounds, helps to support the body’s own cells to regenerate tissue.
