Capable of being reduced from 30mm to as small as 15mm, the grafts can maintain the same level of protection as other products in the Kerecis Shield range.

The combination of intact fish-skin graft and silicone features perforated fenestration marks, which are cut in a spiral pattern and enable easy customisation.

The Kerecis Shield product family, which includes Shield Adhesive and Shield Standard, is designed to manage various types of wounds such as pressure ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, vascular ulcers and draining wounds.

Kerecis founder and CEO Fertram Sigurjonsson said: “At Kerecis, we continue to be inspired by the insights of the doctors that use the intact fish skin every day.

“The development of Shield Spiral is a direct result of feedback from doctors that asked for a product that could be shaped faster and easier to the size of smaller wounds.”

Earlier this year, Kerecis launched Shield Standard, a new fish-skin graft product with silicone backing.

Shield Standard has a borderless contact layer protecting the fish skin and is used in wound products to maintain a moist wound-healing environment.

Kerecis develops products from fish skin and fatty acids for tissue regeneration, cellular therapy, and protection.
