Meet in the International Hub for Innovation and Sustainability

Over the past several years, Iceland has emerged as a vibrant medical and scientific innovation center, with Kerecis at the forefront of wound healing and tissue repair.

The Arctic Midnight Sun Surgical Workshop is the leading scientific workshop for advancing education on the safe and effective use of fish skin grafts for the management of surgical wounds and burn injuries.

The case study must be a complete, start-to-finish case showcasing the use of Kerecis and/or Coloplast’s Advanced Wound Dressing products. The PowerPoint submission must clearly and concisely tell the full story with high-quality pictures and must include a product application photo.

During this invitation-only educational workshop, participants present their clinical case studies in a collegial setting designed to promote peer collaboration and exchange of evidence-based insights. There will also be collaborative focus groups.

We are excited to announce that this year, we are expanding the scientific workshop to include outstanding case submissions utilizing Coloplast’s Advanced Wound Dressings (AWD) in the inpatient care setting. Get ready for an expanded array of innovative solutions and exciting case studies, as Kerecis and Coloplast combine forces to provide a broad portfolio of wound and tissue repair solutions.
