New Orleans, Louisiana – October 6, 2025 – Kerecis, the company pioneering the use of sustainably sourced fish skin in cellular therapy and tissue regeneration, will present its expanding portfolio of fish-skin grafts at Plastic Surgery The Meeting (“PSTM”) 2025, taking place October 9–12 in New Orleans, Louisiana. Kerecis will exhibit at booth 1819.

Kerecis’ fish-skin technology is increasingly being leveraged in reconstructive procedures, supporting clinicians with biologic solutions that combine efficacy, ease of use, and sustainability. At PSTM 2025, Kerecis will spotlight products designed for a wide range of reconstructive applications, including:

 

  • SurgiBind® Tendon Protect – intact fish-skin graft designed to protect and manage newly repaired tendons to minimize scarring and adhesions.
  • SurgiClose® Silicone – intact fish-skin graft paired with a non-adhesive silicone layer to efficiently manage exudate and wound moisture in surgical wounds.
  • SurgiClose® Micro – fragmented intact fish-skin graft designed to adhere to and fill deep wound spaces and irregular geometries.
  • GraftGuide® – intact fish-skin graft used for burn wound management to support tissue regeneration and healing.

 

Our biologic solutions extend the reconstructive ladder, giving surgeons versatile tools that can improve patient outcomes while minimizing complications. Plastic surgeons are on the front lines of restoring form and function, and our intact fish-skin grafts offer a unique, clinically proven option to support their work.
