Kerecis is an Icelandic company that uses fish skins to treat wounds. [3] [4] The decellularized skin of the Atlantic cod is used as a graft, which increases the elasticity, tensile strength, and compressibility of the wound. [5] Kerecis has subsidiaries in Switzerland and the United States. [6] It is based in Ísafjörður, Iceland. [7] [8]
The transplanted tissue is called a skin graft. [1] Surgeons may use skin grafting to treat: extensive wounding or trauma; burns; areas of extensive skin loss due to infection such as necrotizing fasciitis or purpura fulminans [2] specific surgeries that may require skin grafts for healing to occur – most commonly removal of skin cancers
The fish skin group showed faster healing, lower pain, reduced dressing changes, and lower treatment costs compared to silver sulfadiazine cream control. [68] Nile tilapia skin has also been used in neovaginoplasty as a skin graft material, for Müllerian agenesis, vaginal stenosis, and gender-affirming surgery. [69] [70]
The shape, size, position and colour of the dorsal fin varies with the type of billfish, and can be a simple way to identify a billfish species. For example, the white marlin has a dorsal fin with a curved front edge and is covered with black spots. [4] The huge dorsal fin, or sail, of the sailfish is kept retracted most of the time. Sailfish ...
The adipose fin is a soft, fleshy fin found on the back behind the dorsal fin and just forward of the caudal fin. It is absent in many fish families, but found in nine of the 31 euteleostean orders ( Percopsiformes , Myctophiformes , Aulopiformes , Stomiiformes , Salmoniformes , Osmeriformes , Characiformes , Siluriformes and Argentiniformes ...
The origin of the dorsal fin is further back than the origin of the pectoral fins. The dorsal and anal fins are confluent with the small caudal fin. The ventral surface of this fish is darker than the head and dorsal surface, and the pectoral, dorsal and anal fins are pale [3] with yellowish-white edges. [4]
Artificial skin made by Integra composed of an outer silicone film and inner matrix of cross linked fibers. Artificial skin is a collagen scaffold that induces regeneration of skin in mammals such as humans. The term was used in the late 1970s and early 1980s to describe a new treatment for massive burns.
