An ingenious acellular fish-skin graft that harnesses the unique properties of cod skin to accelerate wound healing has been invented by G. Fertram Sigurjonsson and his team. Ageing populations, the prevalence of diabetes and the occurrence of traumatic injuries may lead to chronic or complex wounds, and often, amputation is the only option for patients. Biologic tissue products, such as the fish-skin graft, could help mitigate the risk of amputation.
