“I am a big believer in patents and the power of patents to protect inventors and help them raise capital and scale their businesses. The Kerecis story is a true testament of such success. Patents have helped us build a strong foundation that has allowed us to build our products and and bring our life-saving technology to market. Now, we’re helping thousands, especially those suffering from diabetic foot ulcers, severe burns and surgical tissue trauma,” said Fertram Sigurjonsson.
