FDA Gives ‘Go Ahead’ to Omega3-Rich Fish Skin for Surgical Applications

Kerecis’s Omega3-rich fish skin has received clearance from the FDA for marketing as a surgical reinforcement in the U.S.

Kerecis Omega3 is intact fish skin that is used to regenerate damaged human tissue, has the potential to accelerate healing and can be used in lung, bariatric, gastric, colorectal and other surgeries. The Kerecis Omega3 fish-skin product can strengthen the staple line and reduce the possibility of leakage.

The Kerecis technology is patented in the U.S. and multiple other countries. — Cynthia Jessup
