Introducing SurgiClose Compact

SurgiClose Compact is intact fish skin that’s been fragmented into small units (≤ 2.0 mm) and then compressed into a compact disc format. The compact product offers the same clinical benefits as Kerecis’ fragmented Micro variation, with additional handling benefits:

  • The compact disc shape helps to minimize graft waste by avoiding loose units that can get stuck in packaging during removal or spilled during application.
  • The compact format is easy for providers to handle, place into the wound bed, and fit to the wound shape, particularly in undermining wounds that require tissue volume. These handling benefits may result in more precise application and provider time savings.
  • After application, providers may hydrate the compact disc directly in the wound bed, helping to foster a moist healing environment.
I use Kerecis’ Tendon Protect to help protect newly-repaired tendons. It gives me peace of mind that the repair will last.

Built on Sustainability

Kerecis’ manufacturing takes place in the Westfjords of Iceland, an area known for its commitment to environmental protection. We create life-saving value by transforming by-products from the fishing industry into medical devices. Our products are made from locally procured, certified, sustainably sourced North Atlantic Cod. Our manufacturing requires no harsh chemicals that might harm the environment, and it uses exclusively clean, renewable energy.
Through years of surgical experience, I have gained confidence in Kerecis’ SurgiBind fish skin grafts to protect newly-repaired tendons. This new indication builds on that confidence to help protect repaired tendons from scarring and adhesion.
