- [Fish skin helps save a fisherman from amputation](https://www.kerecis.com/fish-skin-helps-save-a-fisherman-from-amputation/): Chester has always been an active person, and enjoys riding his motorcycle and fishing. He also participates in his church community and enjoys long walks with his wife. But like 1 in 11 Americans, Kitt suffers from diabetes, and as is often with so many diabetic patients, he developed a wound that just would not heal. Wounds such as this commonly result in amputation and a severe decrease in quality of life. In the worst-case scenarios, they can even lead to death.

A patient who had been scheduled for amputation escaped that outcome when her chronic wound started healing after treatment with the Kerecis fish-skin graft.
