Introducing SurgiBind® Tendon Protect

Each year, an estimated 500,000 tendon procedures are performed in the United States, many of which aim to preserve or restore movement following tendon injury. 

SurgiBind Tendon Protect is indicated for the management and protection of tendon injuries in which there has been no substantial loss of tendon tissue. Now available in sizes that are ideal for many upper and lower-extremity tendon procedures, SurgiBind helps manage and protect newly-repaired tendons by providing a covering around the tendon after repair. 

SurgiClose is an intact fish skin graft used for supporting tissue regeneration on surgical, traumatic and acute wounds. SurgiClose Silicone provides a breakthrough balance of protection, breathability, and stability with a combination of fenestrated fish skin and a highly-refined, porous silicone contact layer. 

SurgiBind is Intact fish-skin intended for surgical implantation. The product can be used to reinforce soft tissue where weakness exists. The Kerecis fish skin graft are supplied in multiple shapes, variants and sizes and  contain natural skin elements and structure. The product classifies as a medical device and consist of a full thickness fish-skin that has been processed using Kerecis’ proprietary EnviroIntact™ method.

I use Kerecis’ Tendon Protect to help protect newly-repaired tendons. It gives me peace of mind that the repair will last.
