Kerecis, the pioneer in the use of fish skin and fatty acids for tissue regeneration and protection, announces the designation of its first European Center of Excellence: the Chirurgische Praxisklinik am Friedensengel in Munich, Germany.
Kerecis Centers of Excellence are hubs for peer-to-peer mentoring, advanced training, and collaborative research into innovative applications of Kerecis fish-skin technology. These centers foster the sharing of best practices and provide expert guidance to enhance patient care using Kerecis products.
This marks a milestone for Kerecis, as the recognition extends its Center of Excellence program beyond the United States for the first time. The designation honors hospitals and private practices that facilitate the sharing of best practices, provide expert guidance, and serve as hubs for training and research using Kerecis products.
The Chirurgische Praxisklinik am Friedensengel, an outpatient clinic for general surgery and traumatology, is led by Dr. Sandra Moritz, a general surgeon specializing in natural and biological treatment methods. Dr. Moritz has been an advocate of Kerecis fish-skin technology for over six years, using the fish-skin to treat severe wounds and tissue damage where the standard of care fails to provide adequate outcomes. As an early adopter of Kerecis technology, Dr. Moritz frequently shares her expertise at medical conferences and events worldwide.
The Chirurgische Praxisklinik am Friedensengel will join two existing Kerecis Centers of Excellence in the United States, contributing to a growing global network of leading institutions dedicated to advancing tissue regeneration solutions.
“This recognition of Chirurgische Praxisklinik am Friedensengel as our first European Center of Excellence underscores Kerecis’ growing presence and recognition in Germany,” said Fertram Sigurjonsson, Founder and CEO of Kerecis. “Dr. Moritz and her team exemplify the innovation, expertise, and dedication that drive advancements in tissue regeneration.”
“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,” said Dr. Moritz.
