Article summary:
“Kerecis Omega-3 Wound is a very versatile product with unique properties unlike anything else on the market. It is the only commercially available fish skin product that is used in wound care. Benefits include the rapid incorporation of the cells, relatively lower cost, omega-3 anti-inflammatory properties, multiple sizes, minimal processing with harsh chemicals and thus the advantage of preserving the native structure of the product. This product offers the physician a “new tool in the toolbox” to help chronic wound patients achieve wound closure faster and to avoid potential amputation or prolonged wound care.”
