Kerecis Omega3
Kerecis Omega3™ is the first-ever fish-derived skin alternative. It is rich in fatty acids, and has the ability to recruit progenitor cells, allowing for it to ultimately be converted into living tissue. When compared to existing mammalian-based skin alternatives, Omega3 is cheaper, less harmful to produce, and has more promising clinical results. In addition, there is reduced risk of disease transmission, and the fish-based origin of the product carries with it less cultural constraint on usage. Traditional human, porcine or bovine skin substitutes require heavy processing in order to be prepared, which degrades the healing parameters of the graft.
