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.

I had an opportunity today to meet two heroes that are fighting for the freedom of Europe. President Zelinski and Roman V. Mashovets, Deputy Head for National Security and Defense.

“It did seem like we were looking for a miracle…and we got one.” – Dr. Duda. As a hardworking mechanic and devoted family man, Nate McCall thought little of a misdiagnosed bug bite that refused to heal. That was until he began having hallucinations and learned about necrotizing fasciitis as the infection traveled through the fascia to his leg and stomach. As the family said their goodbyes, Dr. Duda began exploring surgical options to save his life and leg. After months of treatment to remove infected tissue and managing the wound with our Micro and Meshed fish skin grafts, Nate is back on his feet. Today, you can find him around their house in North Carolina, restoring cars and spending time with the family he holds dear. 🔗See Nate's full story: https://bit.ly/3YqVWxq
