Kerecis Expands Fish-skin for Wound Care Lineup

The latest additions aim to support clinicians treating smaller wounds, enhancing flexibility and workflow in surgical wound care.


Kerecis has expanded its SurgiClose Silicone product line by introducing four new sizes designed for use in the operating room. SurgiClose Silicone incorporates intact fish-skin technology with a non-adhesive silicone layer to manage exudate (fluid produced by wounds) and maintain appropriate wound moisture. The new sizes are intended to better address smaller wounds and to offer greater flexibility for clinicians.


The additional sizes include:


– 3×3 cm (with silicone border)
– 5×5 cm (borderless)
– 7×7 cm (with silicone border)
– 10×10 cm (borderless)


According to Kerecis, combining the non-adhesive silicone layer with the fish-skin graft is intended to protect the graft during handling and dressing changes, while also helping care teams maintain an optimal wound environment. The company states that these features are integrated to streamline workflow and support wound healing in surgical care settings.


Fertram Sigurjonsson, Coloplast EVP of Wound and Tissue Repair and Founder and CEO of Kerecis, commented: “We are excited to meet the growing demand for our SurgiClose Silicone product line, which supports care teams to provide an optimal wound environment while protecting the fish-skin graft during handling and dressing changes. Combining these features into one product creates a more efficient, effective workflow, critical to success in surgical care.”


Kerecis develops tissue regeneration solutions using sustainably sourced fish skin and fatty acids. The company’s products are used in wound care, burn treatment, and reconstructive surgery.
