Intact fish skin grafts for reinforcing soft tissue
Contact Us
Our newest product SurgiBind Tendon Protect is indicated for the protection and management of tendon injuries. When applied around the repaired tendon, the structure of the fish skin provides a supportive environment for new host tissue. This may help reduce scarring and tissue adhesion, which limits the range of motion after surgery.

SurgiBind is intact fish skin that is used for soft tissue reinforcement and grafting. It is based on the Kerecis graft technology that is FDA cleared and one of the leading products in the market for tissue regeneration and treatment of chronic, trauma and burn wounds.

SurgiBind provides an optimal structure for cell and vascular ingrowth. Fish skin graft has been shown to facilitate 20x more cell ingrowth than amniotic tissue and to promote revascularization and remodeling faster than a mammalian-sourced tissue.⁽¹⁾ ⁽³⁾

Faster incorporation
Rapid cell ingrowth
Rapid neovascularization
Tissue reinforcement
Bacterial barrier

I use SurgiBind Tendon Protect to help protect newly-repaired tendons. It gives me peace of mind that the repair will last.
