Kerecis is pioneering the use of fish skin and fatty-acids in the cellular therapy and regenerative medicine market.
About us
Kerecis was founded by Fertram Sigurjonsson around the concept of using fish skin to heal damaged tissue. The company is pioneering the use of fish skin and fatty acids in the globally expanding cellular therapy and regenerative medicine market. The fatty-acid rich (including Omega3) products from the company's patented technologies enable the body to regenerate tissues, rather than simply repair them and risk scarring. The Kerecis products are used to regenerate tissue in trauma and chronic wounds such as burns and diabetic wounds. Kerecis is also developing products for areas such as oral surgery, plastic surgery and neurological applications. The vision of Kerecis is to extend human life by supporting the body’s own ability to regenerate. The Kerecis mission is to become the world leader in regenerating damage of the human body by sustainably harnessing nature’s own remedies. In August 2023 Kerecis became Iceland’s first Unicorn when it sold to the Danish company Coloplast for $1.3 Billion.

Surgery is simplified with our innovative and creative solutions, saving time in the OR and space in your stock room.🪡🐟 Preparing our product to transfer from package to procedure takes just 60 seconds, aiming to save vital time in the OR while enabling users to tackle large, deep, and irregular wounds. When Kerecis products are awaiting use in the stock room, streamlined packaging and no need for refrigeration allow our grafts to minimize the space and energy use required during storage, a part of our environmentally friendly stance that we extend to you. 🔗SurgiClose and SurgiBind: https://bit.ly/4fZYZ6m #Kerecis #SurgicalInnovation #BioTech #HowWeHeal

“My go-to sport has always been waterskiing… and I plan to keep skiing ‘til they put me in the box.” After a lifetime in the South Texas sun skipping across the waves, 74-year-old Barry Harrison had been struggling with basal cell skin cancer for several years. When he came to Courtney Aldridge of South Texas Skin Cancer Center, they applied our MariGen Micro graft to a large post-Mohs wound on his left cheek. After weeks of healing and repair to this sensitive area, his case is a shining example of the positive cosmetic outcomes that our patients see. With his cheek cleared for good, Barry will be found riding the waves across Texas for years to come. 🔗Hear from Barry: https://lnkd.in/etQ3bFq4 #Kerecis #PatientCare #TogetherWeHeal #WoundCare

Stepping closer to our core at the Order of the Cod training – Iceland welcomed some of Kerecis’ finest with brisk winds and snow in August! That’s life near the Arctic Circle.🐟❄️ This program, crafted for team members deeply committed to Kerecis and global healing, brought the group together in Reykjavik before journeying to our hometown of Isafjordur. Here, they explored our biotech facilities, connected with partners and suppliers, and gained insight into key topics like our unwavering focus on environmental sustainability, wrapping up with a beach clean-up at a local shore. Congratulations to all the new Order of the Cod members, returning home not only with inspiring stories but also with a deeper understanding of our mission to share with doctors, friends, and colleagues! #Kerecis #OrderoftheCod #CorporateTraining

This World Nature Conservation Day (and every day), we're leading as an example of how human ingenuity can positively impact the environments around us!🌍💡 Utilizing fish skin, an otherwise discarded byproduct of the fishing industry, we're able to transform the waste created by one of Iceland's most important industries to create healing on a global scale. The sustainable values of our home in the Westfjords, a region renowned for its environmentally friendly practices, have found their way into every aspect of our business, from our streamlined packaging that reduces shipping expenses to our products' three-year shelf life! Together, we can make waves to ensure that the places we call home can be enjoyed for generations to come! #Kerecis #WorldConservationDay #Sustainable #SaveOurOceans

While we’re still enjoying the seemingly endless sunshine here in Iceland, we’ve gotten our earliest sign of the dark, snowy days to come.🌅🧭 First distinguished by sailing and fishing culture, nautical twilight was an essential tool for navigating on moonless nights, as the horizon and brighter stars are visible at the same time. In most parts of the world, nautical twilight passes daily without notice. But with the unique position of the sun in the Icelandic sky, the world can become painted in a beautiful post-sunset hue for up to four hours! 🔗Learn all about nautical twilight: https://bit.ly/3LDCtST #Kerecis #MidnightSun #Nautical

Initially designed for human use, our VET product line creates powerful healing for some of nature’s cutest four-legged friends. Meet Sakramento, the latest recipient of our fish skin grafts from the animal kingdom!🐎🐟 Andrea Plaen has become known as our horse whisperer at Kerecis, as her passion for the stables crosses over with a career as an account manager. When she first met Sakramento, he had a chronic bursa on his hocks that prevented him from resting and impacted his mobility. Andrea knew exactly how to help, and just two months after the first fish skin application, he’s back to acting like himself, lying in the sun and giving out rides! 🔗Explore our VET products: https://bit.ly/4fe4SMT #Kerecis #VetMedicine #TogetherWeHeal #HealingForAll
