Fish skin graft for large wounds to speed healing
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests a fish skin graft to help large wounds heal faster and get you out of the hospital sooner. The graft is placed on the wound after surgery to clean it, and may help your own skin grow back.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your wound must be at least 40 cm² (about the size of a 6x6 inch square).
- You must be planning to have or have had surgery to clean the wound (debridement).
- You must not be allergic to fish or fish products.
- You must be able to return for check-ups for up to one year.
- You must be able to communicate in English or Spanish.

This study tracks how well a fish skin graft (Kerecis) heals wounds in real patients. It helps doctors learn more about who benefits most from this treatment.
This study tests how well a pig-based covering dressing works on skin graft donor-site wounds (where skin is taken to make a graft). It may help support faster, safer healing after a split-thickness skin graft.
This trial tests a special wound dressing (SupraSDRM®) to help deep, full-thickness wounds heal faster and reduce the time needed before a skin graft can be placed. It may be an option for people with a large, deep wound from an injury, surgery, or burn that isn't ready for a graft yet.
This trial tests if a fish skin graft can help heal deep burns and reduce the need for a skin graft from your own body. It compares the fish skin graft to standard care for burns on the torso or arms and legs.
This trial tests whether applying a special fish skin graft, along with standard compression therapy, helps heal leg ulcers caused by poor vein function (venous leg ulcers) that have not healed with standard care alone. If you have a nonhealing venous leg ulcer, this study may offer a new treatment option.
This trial compares burn dressings made from tilapia fish skin to standard dressings. It aims to see if fish skin helps heal second- or third-degree burns better.
