Kerecis Shield is an intact fish skin for the management of chronic wounds such as diabetic wounds, pressure ulcers, vascular ulcers, and draining wounds, which are commonly treated in physicians’ private offices.
The Kerecis fish-skin grafts contain fat, protein, elastin, glycans, and other natural skin elements and are supplied in multiple shapes, variants, and sizes. The product integrates the Kerecis intact fish skin with a silicone contact layer.
Shield is fenestrated to allow adequate wound drainage for appropriate wound moisture at the wound bed.
The product classifies as a medical device and consists of intact fish skin processed using Kerecis’ proprietary EnviroIntact™ method. The product is not subject to the May 31, 2021, FDA 351 regulation.
