The new Kerecis Omega3 SurgiBind is the first-ever fish-skin implantable medical product for use in plastic and reconstructive surgery. The FDA-authorized product is indicated for implantation to reinforce soft tissue where weakness exists, in patients requiring soft tissue repair, or reinforcement in plastic or reconstructive surgery.
Kerecis Omega3 is intact fish skin that, when grafted onto damaged human tissue, recruits the body’s own cells and ultimately is converted into living tissue. SurgiBind helps practitioners better manage the risk of complications and improve outcomes. The fish-skin technology provides rapid incorporation and cell ingrowth, accelerated neovascularization and faster wound closure, all of which speed full tissue remodeling.
