19 years ago today, Kerecis took its first steps towards providing improved treatment options for chronic ulcers — with the ultimate aim of preventing amputations.
We started out as FnF ehf., a regulatory and innovation consultancy named after our founder, Fertram Sigurjonsson, and his wife, Fanney. By the time we hit the Icelandic media with this piece in 2010, we had evolved into a product development company focused on his idea of using fish skin to regenerate tissue!
While our operation has evolved several times since then, we’ve established intact fish skin as an improved option for treating a wide array of chronic, surgical, and burn wounds — helping heal over 120,000 patients so far!
