Kerecis, a leading innovator in tissue regeneration, has designated the Chirurgische Praxisklinik am Friedensengel in Munich as its first European Center of Excellence. The clinic, an outpatient facility specialising in general surgery and traumatology, is now part of Kerecis’ growing network of institutions that are advancing the use of fish-skin technology for wound healing and tissue regeneration.
The announcement marks a significant milestone for Kerecis, as it expands its Centers of Excellence programme beyond the United States for the first time. Kerecis Centres serve as hubs for peer-to-peer mentoring, advanced training, and collaborative research, focusing on the innovative applications of the company’s fish-skin technology to treat severe wounds and promote tissue regeneration.
The recognition of the Chirurgische Praxisklinik am Friedensengel as a Centre of Excellence highlights the clinic’s commitment to advancing biological treatment methods and improving patient care. The clinic, led by Dr. Sandra Moritz, has been using Kerecis fish-skin technology for over six years. Dr. Moritz, a general surgeon who specialises in natural treatment methods, has been a staunch advocate of Kerecis’ approach, often speaking at medical conferences worldwide about the benefits of the fish-skin technology.
Dr. Moritz’s clinic will now join two existing Kerecis Centers of Excellence in the United States, as part of a growing global network dedicated to the promotion of innovative tissue regeneration solutions. This marks a pivotal moment in Kerecis’ expansion into Europe, and specifically Germany, a country renowned for its advanced medical research and healthcare systems.
Fertram Sigurjonsson, Founder and CEO of Kerecis, expressed his enthusiasm about the partnership. “This recognition of Chirurgische Praxisklinik am Friedensengel as our first European Centre of Excellence underscores Kerecis’ growing presence and recognition in Germany. Dr. Moritz and her team exemplify the innovation, expertise, and dedication that are crucial in driving advancements in tissue regeneration.”
Dr. Moritz herself praised the impact of Kerecis’ fish-skin technology on her practice. “I cannot imagine running my practice without Kerecis fish-skin. I use it on a variety of conditions daily. I am extremely grateful for this treatment option for my patients,” she said.
Kerecis’ fish-skin technology uses naturally-derived fish skin to regenerate human tissue, offering a biological alternative to synthetic materials. The technology has been shown to be particularly effective in treating severe wounds, where traditional treatments often fall short.
The Kerecis Centres of Excellence play a pivotal role in helping hospitals and clinics integrate this innovative technology into their practices. They foster a collaborative approach to research and clinical education, ensuring that best practices are shared and patient care is continually improved.
With the addition of the Chirurgische Praxisklinik am Friedensengel, Kerecis is further solidifying its position as a global leader in tissue regeneration and biological treatments, providing critical solutions to improve patient outcomes worldwide.
